Avocado types recommended for Caribbean/Tropics

[Tang Tonic]

Hi everyone,

Well one of my Avocados got attacked by a deer.  I took the fencing down protecting it figuring it was mature enough to survive on its own now.  But alas, the deer have been scratching their antlers on the trunk right above the graft and now all the leaves are wilted.  Not sure if its going to make a comeback which is a bummer because it was a rare variety from Puerto Rico and thus far has been thriving.

So can anyone give me some recommendations of good varieties that do well in the Caribbean and the tropics.  My location gets about 65-85 in of rain annually and I also have them on drip irrigation.  Good fertile soil.  About 100' elevation but due to proximity to a low lying area that collects water, we do get some pretty cool nights in the winter and various times throughout the year.  Thanks for the help

Wouldn't any variety that does well in Florida also be suitable for V.I.?
