I visited a farm here in San Diego through CRFG. They had a couple in ground maybe 12ft tall. Talked about cold tolerance, but never mentioned taste.

It might be great for rootstock in harder to grow areas.

Also they had bark burn. Actually all there trees, a few different varieties, had bark burn planted in full sun. The only avos without burn were the newly planted without full summer experience.

If anyone wants to see how to properly establish Avocado trees, go visit Atkins nursery in Fallbrook. They're using Macnut trees as overstory to be eventually faized out. No bark burn there.

I got a box of Aravaipa from Marta last year. The taste is mediocre I'd say. Reminds me of Bacon but they are a little smaller and the skin is edible on Aravaipa, without the bitter taste in Bacon skins.

I have gotten Mexicola boxes from Marta a couple times now, and those are really really good flavor. Tiny fruit (average about 70g in the box I got from her last week), but also a tiny seed (under 15g seed). I think there are multiple Mexicola cultivars in circulation, hers is better than the others I've tried. Seed is a lot smaller, flavor is excellent (nutty), they seem to have good oil content and the skin is very soft when ripe, easy to eat along with the fruit.

I believe Marta is planning to add a few more Mexicola boxes soon, I definitely recommend those over Aravaipa for fruit quality. But Aravaipa have much more vigorous seedlings that make excellent rootstocks. Her Mexicolas always grow more slowly, probably because of the tiny seeds.

Here are some photos of Mexicola seeds & fruit from my latest box from her:

Anyone got a link to her site? I'd be interested to get some for rootstock experimentation.

They are out of stock again now but she said they would be adding more stock once or twice per week for the next few weeks, so basically need to check it continuously lol
