Gardening in Volcano

Avocados originated from three different strains, Guatemalan, West Indian and Mexican. The first two and their hybrids are generally not cold adapted. The Mexican strain is cold tolerant and the pure varieties can withstand freezing temperatures. The negative with the Mexican varieties is that the fruit tends to be smaller. You can try Mexican varieties like Bacon, Mexicola and Zutano.
