The "Florida Avocado" is sold at my local Publix as "Slimcado" because it has half the calories and also half the taste of a normal avocado. I don't want one of those!

My BIL lives in West Palm Beach and he had a huge Marcus Pumpkin Avocado tree that produced soccer ball size avocados. Those things were very tasty! I've read comments that Marcus Pumpkin are not very good tasting but that has not been my experience.

Larry, does the Bacon Avocado require a second tree to produce or does one tree produce enough for a family? Can they be maintained at smaller height/size through pruning? Thanks!
