Added my comment before finished watching the video, only to realize you do have Sleepy Lizard on your research list! Tom is really knowledgeable about Avocados! Please continue making your videos. They are as entertaining as they are informative!

Nice to hear you like Reed as I heard you mention it in a couple previous videos. It is my favorite and I grow 10 Reed trees at my place in San Jose CA and 2 Reeds in San Diego county at my parents place. I Also grow most of the types that do well in Coastal CA: Hass, Lamb, Nabal, Carmen, Fuerte, etc. The one I’m really excited about is the Nimlioh brought up in 1917 from Guatemala along with the Nabal (and many others) by Wilson Popenoe. Daily 11, Don Gillogly, Jan Boyce and Edranol are some others going in next year. Nice to hear the Florida perspective!

I'm with you on avocados! My favorite of all the fruits I can grow in Florida. Sapodilla is second.

Excellent video -- I am one of those who requested this video :-) Gary Alder has a nice series of profile videos on various avocado varieties. Epicenter avocados has a great website -- apart from the usual description of various varieties, it has a blog that is worth reading (esp. for Bay Area home growers), with statements like "this tree does not love you, and is only telling you things you want to hear… "!

Thanks for the great info. Ive got a Coquette, Bacon, and an Ooh-La-La (now called SuperHass). They are planted in a high-density circle with mangos, macadamia, longan, black and white sapote, persimmons, atchachairu, joboticabas, carambola, guava, olive, etc. The avos and macadamia (the 2 best keto crops) are by far the most productive this year. The mango crop is a bit disappointing. Uneven ripening is a known problem with Ooh-la-la, but they are just as fatty and delicious as Hass when perfectly ripe, and about 25% bigger. They turn black when mature on the tree, and ripen in another 7 days once picked. The Coquette is productive and delicious, not quite as fatty as Ooh-la-la, but very good rich flavor and huge fruit with a small seed. They turn black when they reach peak ripeness about 12 days after harvest. One fruit is a days worth of high-quality delicious fatty calories. I don't care for the Bacon, but I got it for the AxB cross pollination with the Ooh-la-la. I'd read that some California growers plant 1 Bacon interspersed with 12 or so Hass to enhance yield of the Hass. The Ooh-la-la is a Hass hybrid, so I figured it might work for that variety as well. They are A & B and bloom at the exact same time and the bees happily fly tree to tree. The Choquette blooms and ripens a little later. All three trees are laden with fruit after just 3 to 5 years in the ground. Ive noticed that many fatty fruits (e.g. avos & macadamias) require more time on the tree than sweet fruits. Which makes sense because there is twice as much caloric energy stored in fats than in carbohydrates; it takes the trees longer to put it there.

[@douglasnewman2127]

My lime tree is doing great, it’s a red lime tree. Bought on Pine Island. So which avocado is your favorite? Super Haas, Maria Black or other?

[@charlotteking8123]

Eggs, sorry vegans: but you can have your own chickens, humanely. Yay! Just subbed, I'm an avocado eater too. MUST have as many varieties as possible. I see you're starting out, please add your city and zone to description, it's exhausting to try to find out where content creators are for zones, you might not mention it in each video. I'm north of Tampa in 9B. Thanks!
