OK, got the Lamb-Hass figured out now.
It has been complicated by the spring crop of young rats climbing the tree and eating the fruit.
The 2 cats we got for rat control are almost useless.
They are very good ratters.
But, M'Lady feeds them too much, too often.
They see the rats as toys, not food.
They catch a lot of them.
But, bring them into the house to play with.
Had to trap a rat in the house for the first time a few months ago.
Finally went back to poisoning them to get them back under control again.
The Lamb-Hass do turn black when they ripen.
As they near being completely black with only a small amount of green left on them they can be picked, then allowed to finish ripening on the counter.
The tree has set the new fruit for the next season's crop while still ripening the old crop of avos, big ones ripening with little ones growing all at the same time.
EDIT:
I'm thinking of picking up a Yamagata avo at PIH next weekend.
They ripen through the summer months.
That should give up ripe avos through almost the entire year.
I just don't have a place to put another tree right now.

Was a Democrat until gun control became a knee jerk, then a Republican until the crazies took over, back to being a nonpartisan again.
This time, I can no longer participate in the primary.
