Hi Fred, My own experience while still at school in Aldona was that avocados didn't do well in our Goa climate. Let me explain - my maternal grandfather(ex Zanzibar) had an avocado plant(at our Moira house) which he had grown, presumably from seed/s he had brought back from Zanzibar. The plant had grown into a huge tree but we rarely saw any fruit on it. He often told us about how delicious this fruit was(I'd never even seen one then!), but it had to be many years later that I enjoyed 'king-size avocados especially at Kisii in Kenya and also at my in-laws in Kitale(Kenya). Maybe there's someone in Goa who can come up with a more positive story?
