- Mexicola Grande has been our most productive avocado tree at our home in Sarasota, Florida. The fruit is easy to tell when ripe and always ripens perfectly for us. The thumbnail photo shows Mexicola Grande on the left, Brogdon in the middle, and a grocery store Hass on the right.
Sulcata Grove is our 2 acre, backyard food forest. We grow over 60 varieties of bananas along with many fruit trees. Our videos are family friendly.

Let’s see more avocado videos please.
By the color they look fantastic. I haven’t had a pale flesh avocado impression me yet. These look similar to hass flesh.
I personally love the Mexicola. It’s cold tolerance allows it to be grown so far north as well.
It’s a great avocado - and so easy to tell when to pick it.
How close to ripening do they start turning black? My new tree bloomed in Feb and 5 months later the fruit is turning black and I'm hoping it isn't sunburn, I've just built it some shade. Hot Central Fl, what do you think? PS; I haven't tasted one yet and am excited you gave it such high marks.
I pick them when the skin is totally black and then let them soften on the counter.
cool cutting board
The fruit shape (and flesh color) matches cultivar Brogden a little better; any chance it might have been that variety?
No. We grow Brogdon as well. Mexicola Grande is a larger fruit with better flesh/seed ration.
Here is a picture comparing the two. instagram.com/p/CR47uKfKMEW/?
@@SulcataGrove ty! Yes, I grow both varieties also. They are both delicious! Love your videos.
Do you know of it will take colder temperatures, further out in the countryside or north of you?
It is fast growing and is said to be very cold tolerant to 18-20 degrees f
Its reported to be the most cold hardy variety.
Thanks for the video. does tree get real big. or is it a compact grower.
Our tree is still fairly young, but it seems to want to grow fairly big. Day has been our most compact grower so far.
Is it better than has avocado ? Similar taste?
Hass is better, but Mexicola grande produces much better for us.
@@SulcataGrove you mean more fruit? Im in Los Angeles. Home depot has tons of these trees and im thinking of planting one. Will it produce next year or long wait?
@@gabrielM1111 I think there are better varieties for CA
It's a blessing in disguise
When did the fruit mature, and how was production?
Ours ripen July-August and the production has been great.
I like eating the skin and all
Definitely easier to eat that way!
Are you sure its not a Brogden, they are also black with very thin skin.
Just basing the ID off what an experienced avocado grower those us after looking at our tree. We grow Brogden too and the fruits are different. The leaves smell different (spicier scented leaves on this fruit).
@@SulcataGrove In a taste test who wins? Brogdan or Mexicola Grande? I have a Brogdan already.
@@timtebow4775 I haven’t tasted them side by size because these always ripen earlier than our brogdons. There might be some crossover this year though.
It should be easy to distinguish the two. Mexicola grande is A type and Brogden is B type.
