This must be a Mexican/non-Mexican hybrid because it looks Mexican on the outside and non-Mexican on the inside. I had some "wild Mexican" avocados and they had intensely green flesh, yours was like a pale yellow that we're used to from Hass and most of those pebbly/thick-skinned avocados.
Yeah, too big to be Stewart or Puebla. In Greg Alder's video of Mexicola Grande he cited it as having a propensity for the seed coat to stick inside the fruit, and grow fibers in the flesh. I didn't notice that in the images here.
Hello mate and did you smell the scent of the leaf??? Sometimes I have tried to determine the genetics of some hybrid avocado, and when I squeezed the leaf, I noticed a pleasant smell like sassafras, is this possible? or betrays my imagination? and what does it mean? can it be related to the smell of anise from Mexican genetics? thanks good job
I believe I did it didn't get much sent. But I was on a speed date with that plant and I need to go back and more thoroughly evaluate it. I also want to collect a bunch of seed to germinate
I’m almost certain that’s a Brogdon. Looks very very similar if not identical to the ones we used to grow and eat in Florida. Good piece of fruit. Not as good as Hass or other varieties such as Lamb or Sir Prize, imo. Great find, Gary!
After talking to the owner they seemed to think it was something else originally, then died down and the root stock took over. If that is true it is genetically unique. But I'm not too sure how reliable that assessment was. Not having Brogden and Oro Negro before or trees to compare to, I can't really say if it is one of those or not. Those varieties are rather unheard of out here but maybe.
I got some of these at my last Church Sabbath. First time in my life I came across "completely black avocados," and I am from Central America....I wonder why? LOL! That said, they ripened really good in my cabinet and TASTE REALLY DELICIOUS! Being the adventurous and crazy small gardener (I barely have space), I am going to plant the two small seeds and "watch the miracle happen"! You know, small and nutrient-dense....that's definitely, my kind of stuff!😃😃
I don't think so... Wilmas are more oblong, and don't reflect light well, making them kind of dull looking. These had a reflective, smooth skin. I agree with Gary that the sparkling yellow lenticels in some of them made for an eye-catching fruit.
Hello mate we have the same vice, I also decide to use new varieties grown from seed, but I am in the north of Spain and a few days ago I came across an avocado tree that produced a fruit similar to bacon on the outside, but when it was opened its meat was very yellow in color, and had an excellent flavor, the best I have ever eaten and far superior to Hass, it has some peculiarities that make it different, for example some of its fruits have a double shape, like a goat's foot hoof I think it would be very interesting to market a greeting
Maybe Puebla? At one point in the video it looked like the the skin was "peelable," which often isn't the case for thin-skinned Mexican varieties. To me, it looks just like these: th-cam.com/video/ZGKrAmVudxQ/w-d-xo.html
Had one this morning looked very much the same,bought at Sams club says large hass,or do you have a little brother on tv in alien resident look just like you lol
"BBC" - Big Black 'Cado
Obviously a Stuart Grande 😆
Puebla
Wowsers, you always manage to find paradise 🤩🥑🌴
Some of the names of these cultivars are really special 😅 the BBC variety especially 🤣
Seems to be grown from a seed, closet relative is likely a mexicola Grande too small for a big black Johnson and to large of seed for a Stewart.
Great horticulture content as always!!
Thank you
BIG BLACK JOHNSON

...wouldn't be your first 🥑
I'm pretty sure he referred to Avocados, not Eggplants, which of course would be purple
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣

I'm not an expert but it looks just like the Oro Negro, originated in South Florida about a decade ago.
Puebla

Yes, I have M Grande and am very familiar with it and it is certainly not that clone. Same skin but that's about it.
Looks a lot like a Brogdon avocado but your leaves are bigger.
Those are beautiful avocados.
Lol
😅🥑😅
It's a Chupe-Chupe Marico!

have you search puebla Avocado
It's a Joie Avocado
I’m almost certain that’s a Brogdon. Looks very very similar if not identical to the ones we used to grow and eat in Florida. Good piece of fruit. Not as good as Hass or other varieties such as Lamb or Sir Prize, imo. Great find, Gary!
Thanks for the info!

@@ScaryHairyGary Gotcha! Well it's a great find regardless of what it is.

looks maxicola grande
That's a Wilma for sure!!!!

I've been eating more and they are really good. Decent flesh to seed ratio as well. Just a gorgeous piece of fruit though.

I think it would be very interesting to market

Or it could just be a Puebla.
That is a possibility
Nice looking avocados, thanks for sharing!

Yes, that's a possibility
Is that a Maria Black
Maybe, Maybe not. Tough to pin it. Expensive dna test would tell, but why?
Had one this morning looked very much the same,bought at Sams club says large hass,or do you have a little brother on tv in alien resident look just like you lol
I'm not aware of any aliens who look like me but I can not with certainty rule it out
Gary's the best 👌 😅
:D
Gary always carry a picket knife.
No kidding.
Looks like Big Black Johnson
They do
Obvious Mexicola but bigger.
more oblong than Mexicola or Mexicola Grande. Different leaf than Oro Negro.
