Synopsis
Excerpt from The Avocado in Hawaii
The avocado varies greatly in habit of growth. It grows from 20 to 60 feet in height and varies from an erect tree with no large branches from the main trunk to one of widespreading habit, occupying an area 50 feet in diameter. The leaves are from 4 to 16 inches in length and from 2% to 10 inches broad and are quite unlike each other in texture and general appearance. The fruits are found in many Shapes, from oblate, through spherical and pyriform, to long bottle-shaped, and in color, light green, dark green, purple, brown, and red. The center is occupied by a single large seed. The rind may be very thin and delicate or thick and woody. The fleshy portion between the rind and the seed is the part which is eaten and affords the flavor so highly esteemed. This flesh, when properly ripened, is about the con sistency Of firm butter and, in texture, should be smooth and free from fiber, but unfortunately many seedling fruits are quite fibrous. The variableness of the species in productivity is quite equal to that Of its other characters just mentioned. Some seedling trees produce a good crop each year, some in alternate years, and some seem quite barren. All these variations in form of tree, in foliage, in fruit, and in productivity may be found in a single Seedling orchard.
