re: Anybody grow avocados?

I tried a Hass many years ago, but it never produced a fruit before it died (due to a storm breaking it).

I have wanted to try again, and have read that some of the Florida avocado varieties would do well here.

Here is an Ag Center article which suggests that cold hardiness is the most important factor and offers some varieties that might work here.

If I get back into it, I'll like try one of the Mexican varieties.
