Here is a fact about avocados that I didn't know until a conversation with my father last night (who enjoyed yesterday's post). Much like apples and mangoes, each time an avocado seed is planted, it bears a different type of avocado fruit. You can achieve getting the same avocado through budding (an old genetic trick that does NOT involve splicing genes, dorking around with DNA codes and making cancer causing toxins out of food). The problem is, unless you know of someone who sells trees that bear hass avocado (the most common type of avocado that I've seen sold in America), you would need to be okay with whatever avocado your tree will bear.
Be comforted if budding isn't a possibility. I've tried a variety of avocados and believe me, they are ALL good. Just have fun with whatever type of fruit your tree will bear. Maybe you'll enjoy it so much that you can bud THAT and sell it at farmer's markets!
