In this video, I share the incredible true story of the avocado! The avocado tree is native to the Americas, but have you ever wondered why commercial growers grow different avocados in California and Florida? We explore the incredible history of avocados and why the Hass avocado dominates the market today.
There are 3 races of avocados: Mexican avocados, Guatemalan avocados, and West Indian avocados. These different avocado types hold the key to selecting the correct avocado variety if growing avocados is your goal. Pairing the right avocado trees to your location is critical for success growing avocado trees.
