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.

Sorry you lost your trees. Try again.
... I need a companion tree to go with my Little joey. I may get and try a Brogdon and/or the Pancho. I understand these trees are self pollinating, but fruiting is increased when companion trees are present. ... The Chestnut Hill Nursery is only 80 or 90 miles from me. So I plan to drive down to get another avocado tree.
