Mexicola Avocado (Persea americana (Avocado))

I planted this 6,7 years ago? Its has edible skin. No peeling needed- but we do.

Thanks. It has edible skin too. But,we usually peel it. Its a funny thing to bite into Avocado.
I'm also topping it. I want to keep it in the 8-10' area. That's enough Avocados at one time.

Wow! What a nice crop of Mexicola avocados!

The San Francisco Bay Area has some of the largest, oldest avocado trees I've seen. Many of those old trees produce such large, good-tasting fruit.

Thanks Andy..it makes a lot but are about a third as large as a regular Hass. But free..

They have a very good creamy taste, though.
