Florida has got some amazing avocado varieties too. I do not know how they have figured it out but they have gigantic avocados here that are over 3lbs per fruit, yet they are super yellow and buttery inside with a tiny pit. I had a tree that I grew in my house when we lived in Miami. Funny thing is we plated the tree during Hurricane Katrina. We had no power for a whole week and we had already bough that tree and a mango tree and a few others. We had no idea that the hurricane was actually going to hit our area like it did because the news said it was going to miss us. We kept the trees inside until it passed through then went outside and planted them. Best avocados I have ever had an cool story to tell lol.
