Lula or Day Avocado

[johnb51]

Which would you say is the better, higher quality variety to grow as a dooryard tree?

I like Lula but I’d rather grow Day. Lula’s flesh/seed ratio is pretty poor.

Would you say the flavor is as good?  I've tasted Lula, and for a Florida avocado I thought it had very good flavor.  I've never tasted Day.

We have several varieties of excellent qualities in the Yucatán at the moment. Pagua and Muna they are of rich and  creamy flesh but lacks the oil nutty taste of the current varieties that are available in the market in California.

I like Day’s flavor a little better actually.

In the real world.... I am at a nursery and between Lula and Day I am going to buy the strongest looking tree. All things being equal I would go for Lula because it is good tasting and has a season I like. October into December-January. And I have seen February stragglers one year.

How come you see Lula at Pine Island avocado viewer but not Day? I think Lula is the most commonly planted backyard avocados here...after seedlings! Of course!

I planted both and a Wurtz last season to go with my mature Brogdon

Easy solution is plant both

Probably doesn't mean too much.  You don't see any of the Zill mangos on their mango viewer!
