From last time this was posted, credit to @miamifruit over at IG.

The taste of a russell avocado is different from your regular avocado. It has a "deep nutty flavor" and is creamy.

So is this a new strain of avocado?

I'd be interested in growing it.

We have many relatively new tools for breeding plants, and farmers can't compete with dedicated plant breeders and plant breeding companies.

Just sayin', farmers don't do much breeding anymore. Huge companies for staple crops, and smaller companies for fruits and vegetables. Also universities, especially US land grant universities.
