Mexicola Avacado trees

John Covarrubia

So I was interested in growing an avocado tree here in san Antonio, texas. However most avocado trees need a warmer climate besides the Mexicola's. I figured someone has to know someone somewhere to help with finding the seeds for them and would be willing to sell some? Worth a shot. I am also open to any advice with growing these things. Thanks!

Mexicola are not very cold hardy. ‘Fantastic’, ‘Lila’, ‘Poncho’ & ‘Joey’ are cold hardy types of the Mexican strain of avocado. ‘Fantastic’ is reported to be the most cold hardy. Several SA nurseries carry them such as Fanick’s & Milberger’s and sometimes Lowe’s has them in stock.

One of my neighbors has a big tree, or should I say HAD, 15’ tall with a 10’ canopy and it died this winter. Noid avocado. Personally, I gave up trying in Houston area.
