That's why I grow the Lula here in zone 10a. It can take short bouts of high 20's --- low 30's and survive. It's a hybrid of the Mexican and Guatemalan avocado races. Real good taste and texture. I just picked my first fruit from my 12 ft tree with about 80 or 90 more still hangin'. Should be full ripe in a couple of days. Will post pics later.
