She has three young avocado trees here in Thailand. There are a few squirrels in the neighborhood, this year.

About the photo: Avocado seedlings. After they mature one planter will be placed here and the other given to one of the neighbors. Avocados are not easy to find in Isan markets and when found they can be pricey. She should enjoy.

...^a propos: Thai farmers need to upgrade their avocado crop...local fruit has flesh that tends to be mushy and tasteless, unlike Hass and similar imported varieties.

With all the generated fusion-hybrid processing for local soils/climate of the last few decades - which includes most everything today - one probably can't find a true native avocado. What you think is true....probably isn't.

...had it every week for 2 years in Jamaica: roasted whole on the stove top and served broken open and steaming with melted butter or with dipping sauces...by itself, tasteless...
