"Special Avocados" In Laguna Beach
greg_D:
Found these for sale at a gas station in Laguna Beach (Village Mart & Gas). They're good, like a miniature version of a standard grocery store avocado. I think I would actually prefer it if avocados were sold at this size. It's the perfect size for a snack (I just finished eating one by scooping the fruit out with tortilla chips). With regular avocados I always feel like there's the task of figuring out how to use the whole thing once it's cut open.
Anyone know how to make an avocado tree produce small fruit like this? I know there are some varieties that make small fruit by default, but I looked it up and 'mini' versions of standard varieties (like Hass) are sometimes sold in grocery stores. My current guess is that they just don't thin the fruit after it sets?

I think these are just small Hass. My neighbor (in mission Viejo) had a very large fruit set this year and a lot of the fruit is small.

Thanks! I agree, it was exactly like Hass just tiny

Greg, I have a miniature fruit tree which gives all seedling fruits. Only problem is, the fruits are more like a toy, not for eating since they ripen at a small size, half the size of the ones you show.

Our Jan Boyce fruit is small enough for the squirrels to take the whole fruit and run off with it, little bastards...
