Why a Holiday?

So, why did we choose a Holiday avocado?
  1. It is a natural dwarf/semi-dwarf tree. Various sources list it at 10-15ft tall full grown, and about as wide. We have a smallish back yard in Southern California and did not want to dominate it with a 30-ft Hass tree.
  2. It's different. We can buy Hass at the supermarket, and most farmers' markets also sell Fuerte and Bacon. Holiday is different and interesting.
  3. The fruits get very large (15-18oz; as a reference, Hass is usually 8-10oz).
  4. Julie Frink lists the flavor as XLNT.
