Does the avocado tree grow here? Do they have plantations ??
Does the avocado tree grow here? Do they have plantations ??
i've seen avocados on sale at Wicker Basket, but i have no idea how extensive the cultivation is
Avocados are available in most large cities in China. I believe most are imported.
There is some cultivation in Yunnan, but it is pretty limited, and I don't believe it extends this far north (too cold).
They grow in Xishuangbanna. The season is usually spring/summer. I've had them, and they're really big and really good. Unfortunately, no one seems to be bringing them to Kunming.
The term they use down there is you li (油梨)
Thanks all.
Imported usualy dont last, they get black as soon as there soft...
I'll see if I can get some here in KM next summer.
I love Mexican food parties!!
If you find them, sign me up too!
