Thank you for your response however growing avocado trees isn’t our forte. We suggest you check with a local natural gardening store. And good luck!

I live in Southeast Missouri. Our winters are usually 2 months long but doesnt freeze below 20 above for very long at a time. a day or so, sometimes a week ( rare)The worst part is in Feb. when we have occasional (not every year though) ice storms. Would I be able to grow an avacado tree? And do you need a pollenator tree if you can.

As for varieties, I’ve found Gwen to be a reliable Haas alternative. Reed and Bacon are the two green-skinned varieties with the best flavor in my opinion.

Lastly and most importantly to my tastebuds, any avocado will be watery and unpalatable if picked too early.

So true that good guacamole is in the mouth of the beholder. Most folks I know love to put lemon juice in their guacamole, which is a deal-breaker for me. I prefer to keep it super-simple: avocado, garlic, salt, the latter two to taste. Cayenne for kick if I’m feeling like it.

Yum.

I have a wonderful avocado tree that gives hundreds of fruit every Christmas time. I have had fruit on the tree up to April and they are good. I use a potato peeler to take off the smooth and thin skin and have very good tasting fruit. I am not certain of the kind of avocado I have but I think it is either Fuerte or Zutano. I don’t care about the kind it is I just enjoy the fruit and my neighbors enjoy seeing me come to their homes with a bag full for them. Rather than trying to get a seed to grow into a tree, go to a good nursery to get a tree because it takes seven years before you get any fruit. If you try to plant a tree from seed you might waste seven years if it doesn’t bear fruit. One year I had over 350 and each over one pound each. You have to keep the tree below 30 feet high or you will have trouble reaching them at the top.

I have tried many versions of guacamole and my favorite one I have adjusted to make it more healthy without giving up taste so I eliminate any sour cream or mayo. I love the tomatoes but if I am not going to use the whole batch at once I do not use tomatoes, they weep and get soggy.
5 ripe avacadoes
Juice of 3 limes, or 1 1/2 Lemon, or combo of lime & lemon juice
1 lardge garlic clove mashed
6 green onions
salt to taste
6 to 8 drops favorite hot sauce to taste
