Default Re: Reputable (and inexpensive?) mail order to GA: cold hardy avacado?

I planted a Joey and a Fantastic last spring. $50 each! I covered them with a thick blanket about 5 times. One time I didn't cover it hit 32-33 or so and frost knocked the leaves off. Both are dead. It didn't work for me. I had one Mexicola I kept in the greenhouse left so I will see how it does this winter. I'm zone 8b by USDA. Zone 9 by other maps. It was a 60 year record winter but none of my citrus died. My lemons got knocked from 8' to 6' maybe. Prob lost 20-30% of their wood. I have pure sand here.
