Wow, are we ever gonna pay big bucks for avocados and citrus this year. Our growers here are devastated by the effects of the cold weather on our groves. I wonder how Art's avocados are doing?

I know I was amazed to see the old style avocado's in the store for 10 for a 1.00. It was amazing. Needless to say I got several lol. But the price had already doubled on the clementine oranges.

All avocados but the Hass seem bland and "thin tasting" to me. If I ever get an avocado tree, it'll definitely be a Hass. Just curious, TK, why do you call the Hass "old style"?

Hi Deborah, we only had 2 days below freezing here. one nite was 29 the following nite was 28 and all of my trees survived,with the exception of my mango,which im not sure of yet.altogether i have 5 naval oranges 3 valencia oranges 1 lime 1 lemon 2 tangerine 6 loquot 4 apricot 3 peach 3 avocado 5 fig 1 plum and my hopeful mango.and 9 assorted grafts.i didn't cover any of them,but i did water them the day before. maybe thats what saved them. by the way one of my gwen grafts still has about 7 avocados from last feb.i'll wait 3or 4 more months before i pick them. i hope you get yours soon.just think, you could be enjoying avocados by now.
