14. I spent several hours googling about avocados.
I wanted to get a dwarf avocado tree for my parents. I found one site with a grower's forum. Several said that Fuertes are better for guac than Haas, but Haas turn black when ripe (easy to tell when they're ready) can be stored for 6 months, plus have a thick skin & are better for shipping. Sounded to me like once again consumers are stuck with a second grade product to meet supermarket demands.

Maybe you really have a Fuerte. I could be intested to hear what you think about the taste.
