Brief History and Description

Aguacate Choquet first fruited in 1934, and propagation began in 1939.1

The chocolate avocado fragrance is somehow like pineapple and is a nice-looking medium-sized shade tree that reaches a maximum height of about 30 feet and produces large quantities of large fruits. Three subspecies of this plant have been recognized: the Mexican race, the Guatemalan race, and the West Indian race.
