Avocado 🥑 tasting of G6, Bacon, and Zutano

[@ericinla65]

FYI - There is no such type of Avocado called "66". That would be the size. Also, what you called the "66" was the Bacon Avocado. I have had a Bacon tree for years. They are easily recognizable

[@edibletropicaltrees]

It G6 and it's from Guatemala. They use it as root stock in California.

[@Hdhdjjjsj]

Did your zutano fruit yet?

[@edibletropicaltrees]

It hasn't fruited yet, but both Zutanos, the Hass, and the Fuerte are covered in blossom buds right now.

[@Hdhdjjjsj]

@@edibletropicaltreesi sorta wanna try a zutano from home depot but everyone says they cant survive here. I may give it a shot anyway.

[@edibletropicaltrees]

@@Hdhdjjjsj It's best to plant them on the East side of the house so they get morning sun and afternoon shade and can grow into the sun as they accumulate to our climate.

@@Hdhdjjjsjtoo cold where you live??? Whats you’re growing zone. You will be surprised how resilient they can be.

[@edibletropicaltrees]

I'm in Mesa, Arizona growing zone 9b.

Are you sure the “66” might not be “Green Gold?” Just asking since I’ve never seen the shape of Green Gold. However, it’s popular, and, out of a few hundred varieties, I’ve never heard of “66.”

[@edibletropicaltrees]

66 was what was written on the fruit from where my cousin bought it; I've never heard of 66 either, so I'm trying to get more information about it also.

[@growyourownavocados]

Greengold is supposed to be very highly quality. 66 could be GG but perhaps it was just read incorrectly.

[@edibletropicaltrees]

After doing a little more research, think it was suppose to be G6. A variety that came from the mountains in Guatemala. It is suppose to be resistant to root rot.

[@growyourownavocados]

G6 is black skinned Mexicola type. The seeds are used for rootstock but it could be anything I suppose. But it could be anything.

[@SpYucaipaSoCal]

Looks like a Reed

[@sheens9193]

The 66 looks like it’s a smaller version of Nabal.

[@edibletropicaltrees]

I'm not sure what it is. Nabal is a good avocado, so that would be fine with me.
