We have four producing avocado trees this year! There are three different types of avocados although all the trees look very similar. These are just about the size of Macklin's head!
The picture below gives you an idea of their size in comparison to the basketball goal.
This tree produces smaller avocados and I think they have the best flavor.
This third type is quite spectacular in appearance when we walk out our terrace door. They definitely remind us that we aren't in "Kansas, Toto."

The kids wanted to sell avocados yesterday so Theo pulled some down for us. Here I caught him in action dodging a falling avocado. Matthias actually got a black eye from one!
Adeline proudly says, "The kids sell lemonade in Texas and we sell avocados here. " :) Fruit and vegetables sold on the street here are ripe and ready to eat. So since these aren't ripe yet, we sold them for only $10pesos each (RD$40 =US$1). Unripe fruit is sold in the supermarkets.
