Among the cold-hardiest avocados that still fruit well in Florida. Upper 20s are possible for a dormant, established tree.

Estimate from Naples

UPS Ground for a 3-gallon packed in about a 12×12×30 in box. The carton bills near 32 lb. Includes fuel and home delivery. A smaller box costs less. Not a label.
