Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with the people, and with these wonderful trees that bares it’s wonderful fruit. I love your videos, and your calmness is a Blessing. Thank you brother, keep going and keep growing. Just bought one of these trees and I am glad you put this video up Bless.
Thank you, Greg, for testing these avocado varieties that aren’t good enough to plant in most peoples gardens. We could go to the garden store and the guy at the store telling us that they’re good fruit and we buy them. Lovingly grow them up and out and find out 5 years later that the tree bears less than good quality fruit. All of us have limited room For growing avocados. I appreciate you telling us that the fruit is good but it has a lot of other qualities that make it less desirable. thanks for your efforts.
I'm grateful for this comment, Mike. Sometimes I think, "Why bother profiling a variety that isn't amazing?" But then I remember exactly what you wrote.
Another excellent video, thx. So the deal is to have em all! We've been enjoying our Bacons since late October, and have a young Jim tree coming up into production, next year? I appreciate the early varities the most.
I understand that you presented the Mexicola Grande. But would you happen to know if the smaller Mexicola avocado has a relationship to the avocados called “Puebla” “Aguacate Mexicano” and the “Aguacate Oloroso”
Hi Gilberto, I'd say there's some relationship between all of these types and varieties of avocados, but how close a relationship I don't know. It's tricky to navigate these things because people use the terminology in different ways. My understanding of "aguacate oloroso" is that it's a type of avocado that has thin, black skin and some other characteristics but there are many varieties (or "cultivars") of that type. Puebla might be considered one, and probably Mexicola too. Sometimes people use the term Mexican avocado or "aguacate mexicano" to refer to these types too, but other times people include certain greenskin avocado varieties in that group as well. For example, some would call Fuerte a Mexican type of avocado because it has leaves that smell of anise, it matures early, it has a good degree of cold tolerance, and it was -- after all -- discovered in Atlixco, Puebla, Mexico. Then again, the locals in that area are said to have called Fuerte an "aguacate de China." They saw it as of a different type than the thin, black-skinned ones that mature even earlier.

Thanks for the video. I just purchased mexicola grande tree.
Great video 👍. Can you also consume the skin of the Stewart avocado like you can with the mexicola grande?
Hi Jaime, No, don't try the Stewart skin. It's bitter and nasty. (I played guinea pig and tried it for you!)
Beautiful Avocado fruits Mexicola Grande, love to get a tree next time we go to CA!

Thanks for all of the different avocado profiles Greg - they are really helpful. Do you have plans to review Queen?
Hi Mike, I will profile Queen at some point. It probably won't be very soon though, sorry.
