I love avocados and lived several years in San Diego where the trees are ubiquitous and avocados are free. They are actually lovely trees generally though quite large. No one can deny that the marketing around avocados has been a huge success. People are overthinking it. America has a large range of territory where avocados will do well. San Diego, with its Mediterranean climate that is more ideal than the actual Mediterranean, produces excellent avocados, but as the article points out, most avocados are produced in Mexico, which shares a climate with a huge swath of the southern US and translates to northern Africa. Avocado ubiquity is possible. They also don’t really ripen on the tree, which makes them a flexible bit of vegetable. They have a lot of potential.
