I dont know about in FL, but here in southern CA, mexicola is probably at the bottom of the list for me personally. Ive seen people here saying they taste great but have not had the same result. They have bad mexican avocado aftertaste, they only hang on the tree for a week then drop on the ground, the fruit are tiny with a big seed. Im not even sure why people would grow it here with so many better choices. I would say top work it, thats what I did.
