I just read this interesting article about a rare avocado variety that might be might be even more hardy than Stewart, Mexicola or Bacon...

Anyone have any first-hand experience with this variety?

RE: Ultra hardy "Duke" avocado?

My brother just bought some Duke fruits from a vender near Chico, CA, so he could plant them and grow them. The skin is very soft on them, but otherwise they taste like any other avocado. They are supposed to be the hardiest one out there. Yes, they are quite rare. Northwoodswis
