I planted a Day since and have a mature Brogdon already producing
You're going to have lots of avocados!

My first Wurtz of 2019.  A squirrel knocked off one fruit a week ago.  I was able to grab it before he could start in on it.  I tasted it today, and it was almost ready.  There was a little fiber, but the flavor was fairly rich.  A decent variety for Florida.  It does a have a big seed, however, especially for a small avocado.

Really looks and tastes like Hass this year.  I'm impressed.  (A small plate, by the way.  Not a dinner plate.)  Bottom line: Seems like an excellent variety for South Florida.

First year for my Wertz producing and I am very happy with the selection. Still have about a dozen left from 2 dozen total fruit it set. Tryin to extend the season as much as I can.

They could potentially last until the end of December, don't you think?
