Dear Parnell, I suggest you join the Botanical Society of Goa network and mailing list. Lots of knowledgeable people there . http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/bsg-goa/subs_add
As far as growing the avocados go, I'm not an expert. My view is that they take root easily in the soil in Goa. Miguel, a qualified agricultural scientist, would know the exact details. If you want the seeds, you're free to pick them up from here. We have many dozen seeds and you can have a few at no cost. (The idea is to spread them about, so that we have more greenery and another fruiting crop.) I could drop them for you somewhere in Panjim if you wish. Unfortunately I don't reach Betalbatim often.
