They tend to get left on the shelf because the average shopper (in my area.) has no idea what to do with them...? ;)

I have seen something similar on the tv, there was segment on exporting avo's to China and they were giving out samples to the locals.

One poor ****** was trying to peel it like a orange and gave up in disgust, most of the people that did try it sort of liked it but it was not to their taste.

There were no 1 kg bags of Awkward Avo's at Woolies, only single ones at $2.00 each the sign said they were a mix of Australian and New Zealand avo's.

They have a tags on them so will be able to taste test the difference, if any

Aldi up to $1.59. Still worth it. Chili aren't ripening well. Soft spots and hard. Costco had round peru now. Getting confusing lol

In my previous house I had a greenhouse cum conservatory attached and we grew all kinds of things in there and my husband used to have fun with avocados - they grew into quite tall plants fairly fast at which point they outlived their welcome...:(

No - but that wasn't his aim - it was really just to see them sprout and grow, and they never ever actually got to be more than rather scraggly leggy little things before being abandoned...

Not yet.

Tried a Kiwi avo last night, I cannot taste any difference to the Australian ones. The pip is a bit bigger tho' so not getting as much flesh.

Boo hiss. Aldi was out of avo and 3 stores to find green onion. I think these hurricanes / earthquakes/ fires will kill us. I take the no MX avo as a sign to get chili or Peru. China are good. Peru season is ending.

What she kiwi avo! The smaLl egg ones?

The kiwi on (New Zealand) is on the top in the pix and is not as elongated as the Australian one at the bottom.

Which do you prefer. Round or pear shaped. I'm perplexed when I go get some tomorrow

I think the Australian ones are that shape because they do not get that much irrigation, the NZ ones would have had more watering so they are more rounded.

I think that's why they are that shape, even tho' both are Hass variety.
