The best avocados come from
California and are of the Haas variety and are tree ripened. The store
bought never develop the best flavor because they are almost always picked
when immature. We have trees that grow on public land here in SoCal and the
locals have been known to wage wars to pick them. We had a huge tree at a
local college that put out an incredible harvest but they finally cut it
down because people were falling out of it at 3:00am trying to pick the
topmost ones which are always the best.

Oh I beg to differ Paul. In Hawaii we have fabulous avocados, Kahaluu
being one of the very best. We just can't send them to the mainland
because of Calvado (the California Avocado PAC) because they are
rpotecting their own Haas.They will not allow us to export our
Hawaiian avocados to CA.

I believe that most of the PAC are Haas growers which stands to
reason:). Some day come to Kona from December to early February and
ask for a Kahaluu or an Ota avocado.You would love them! Big and oh
so so tasty!
