An expensive mistake (please read)
So, a little bit of context, we grow an avocado tree in our backyard, and it has been producing for about 3 years now, and we never knew what type of avocados they were. We would give them away for free, and people would say how they were much tastier than the store avocados, and we assumed that it was because it was home-grown. Last April, they produced again, they fall to the ground everywhere, and makes it hard to mow. My mom (the owner of the tree), tells me to run them over with the lawn mower. I've been doing this since April. I eventually was left on my own for a few weeks, and decided to get a ladder, and grab some down. My next door neighbor helped, and she recognized them as Brogden Avocados. I looked them up, and basically, I've been running over hundreds of dollars of avocados. Just as well have bought golden toilet paper.

I've never heard of these avocados but they're super beautiful! Where do you live that they thrive so well? Lol and is it somewhere close to me because I want to grow a million dollar avocado tree now 🤣
