Citrus fruit has remarkable staying power on the tree during high winds. The winds would have to either blow down the tree or denude the leaves before you will lose your fruit. On the other hand, avocado trees are terribly brittle, and the fruit drops in TS winds.
Huh. Well, that’s good to know. My dad was in the pan handle andI tried to get him to bring me an avocado tree back from Florida...the ones with the big fruit like yours. He said he could only get them in the south though.
