Exotic Avocado Varieties You Can Grow at Home

You are all familiar with the Hass but what about the Russell? The Nesbitt? Donnie, Simmonds, Lula, Monroe, Choquette? Each has it's own unique flavor and attributes. Join me as I talk about the wide range of avocados available to you as a backyard grower and what you need to consider when choosing the best variety for you. Then we do a taste test.

I don't live in an area where I can grow my own avocados or buy yours, but I still find myself watching every single one of your videos! I just like to watch them when I'm stressed or tired and it always makes me feel better. Greetings from Germany!

My Uncle Ernie passed away about 10 years ago, but he used to sell the avocados that he grew at his house at his grocery store in the Keys. They were the biggest avocados that Ive ever seen in my life. They weighed 2.5 to 3 pounds. They were shaped like a cross between a Russell and a Monroe. Monroe is the name of the county that the Keys are in, so maybe that's how they got that name (just speculation). They were a beautiful yellow color inside. The tree had fruit from July to August. My uncle told me that it produced fruit every other year. To me, they blow Haas avocados out of the water. I would eat the whole avocado. I scored the flesh and put some Vegesal, paprika, and lemon juice on it. Now I live in Texas and we rent. I don't have a place I'd grow trees. Im stuck with Haas and Fuertes, LOL Thank you for all your informative and very interesting videos. Ill keep you in mind when and if Im ever able to get some trees. Thanks!

I did not know there were more than 900 types of avocados and now I'm so happy I have found this video

Man, you have really taught me so much about Avo varieties...

[pauldez]

Great video, well done. I own the property that (as I was told by previous owner) has the original Nesbitt avocado trees. The "Grandfather Nesbitt" made it through Hurricane Andrew but Wilma did it in sad to say. The "Grandmother Nesbitt" still sits outside our porch and is loaded this year. Took 6500 pounds of Donnies to packing house in the past few weeks and Nesbitts will start Monday.

Magnificent!! Masterpiece!! I thoroughly enjoyed this episode! The enthusiasm is catching! One of the best episodes!

I was raised on avocados being prepared as dessert: add lime juice and sugar cane sugar while mashing it into a cream. Variants with any citrus and honey and mash it.
Variant with blending it at high speed with milk. All delicious.

I have purchased Donnie’s and Russell from you; both are fantastic! I will be ordering another batch of Russell before they are gone!!!!

[aishahwalker]

I love these videos, i have never seen most of these avocados but previous videos have convinced me to grow them. I'm in canada and now have two 1 and half year old avocado trees in containers. Dont know it they'll ever fruit but they look cool. Thank you for sharing all this information with us!

[gerigoetzinger]

Hi
I had no idea there were so many varieties of avacados. It was so interesting watching you. I live in South Florida and have a DAY avacado tree.They are delicious, and the tree made hundreds of avocados last year. I planted a seed, and when it grew into a seedling, I grafted a scion. It was my first attempt to graft, and its growing great.
