Just had to rant about this... Sorry in advanceI noticed theres so many overhyped avocado types. I tried growing as many as possible and found most to be uninspiring. Either the flavor is not there, or the tree has bad growth habits, or some other problem. Many of these are hyped up by the UC breeding program or by the grounds keepers at the UC Irvine grove. And some have just been around forever and for some reason people keep propogating them even though theres much better options

And theres more that will likely be chopped down and turned into saw dust after I waste a few more seasons on them as well !![]()
Fuerte is a classic. I thought people generally liked that variety. Why don't you like it? Here in my part of Peru it is the only other grafted option besides Hass that the local nurseries provide.
Sorry my dry humor doesn't come accross electronic media well.
I certainly not serious that he should go to court or call la mgra. That was a joke.
I picked up on it. Never thought you were serious
spaugh, I'm not a lawyer and am not playing one on a fruit forum, but I do believe--from watching People's Court--Small Claims doesn't deal in mental anguish, pain and suffering compensation
If you grew it from seed, it could take (many) years. I have a tree started from seed in 2014, the trunk is thicker than fence post, nothing but vegetative flushes, so far.
