‘Fantastic’ is a pure Mexican type avocado and is known to be very cold hardy.  It grows upright and is somewhat vigorous.  The fruit is on the smaller side, with very thin green skin and high oil content.  It ripens from August to October.

___________________________________________________________________________

Latin name - Persea americana

The Avocado tree originates from the highlands of Central America, and has been under human cultivation for at least 5,000 years.  Rich with monounsaturated fats, vitamins, and minerals, Avocados are a supremely healthy fruit.  Their rich, buttery flavor and culinary versatility make them a prized ingredient in kitchens worldwide, but mostly we think of Avocados as a pillar of Mexican cuisine.  

Avocado trees can thrive in a broad range of climates and growing conditions, but one of their most remarkable features is their widespread fruiting season.  In Florida, Avocado season is at its peak in the late-summer and fall months, but fruit can be harvested almost year-round when planting multiple varieties with overlapping ripening periods.   See our Avocado variety guide below for information on early, mid, and late ripening cultivars.

The Avocado tree itself is reasonably fast growing, evergreen, and usually takes a wide, bushy form.  Tree vigor can vary between varieties, and each seems to have their own unique leaf shape and growth habit.  Avocado trees can begin to bloom in early spring and continue through summer, usually shedding lots of leaves during the onset of the bloom period.  They require ample water to thrive, but will not tolerate flooding, standing water, or overly saturated soils.   Root rot can occur quickly when standing water is present, so choose a location with well draining soil or consider planting on a mound.  

In backyard cultivation as well as commercial growing, it is recommended to prune Avocado trees from a young age to encourage lateral branching, which leads to easier harvesting as fruit is kept within reach.  Pruning can be done in mid-summer as well as after harvest.  Avocado trees need full sun to thrive, but in our plantings we have noticed that young trees benefit greatly from partial shade in the first couple of years while establishing.  This can be achieved by planting fast growing support species in the vicinity of your tree, and pruning periodically to manage the level of sunlight hitting your tree.

Grafted Avocado trees will usually produce fruit within two years, but seedling trees take 8-10 years on average, with varying fruit quality.  One common misconception about Avocado trees is that multiple trees are required to get fruit.  This isn’t exactly the case, but it stems from the fact that Avocados have two different classes of flowers - Type A and Type B.  These are distinguished by their tendency to exhibit their male and female anatomy at different times of day.  Type A flowers will open as females in the morning of the first day, and then close.  In the afternoon of the second day, the flowers will open again, this time as males.  Type B flowers open as females on the afternoon of the first day, then close and open again as males the following morning.  Both Type A and Type B Avocado trees are capable of self-pollinating and will produce fruit on their own, without another tree present.  However, this split flowering pattern means that fruit set and overall yield can be significantly increased when both types are planted in close proximity to each other.  For this reason, we do recommend planting multiple trees if you have the space.  As mentioned above, different Avocado cultivars can be harvested many months of the year.  So if you love eating avocados, you’ll benefit from planting both A and B types as well as early, mid, and late ripening varieties.

One final major distinction between Avocado types is their geographical origin and associated traits.  There are three primary races of Avocados:  Mexican, Guatemalan, and West Indian.  Each of these categories have distinct qualities of both the fruit and the tree. 

Mexican Avocados are the most tolerant of cold weather, some even surviving temperatures below 20 degrees fahrenheit.  They are the least salt tolerant, and generally more adapted to dryer conditions.  Their leaves tend to be smaller and pointier, and sometimes the crushed leaves will smell of anise.  This seems to be an indication of cold tolerance.  Mexican avocados are relatively small and have a thin, waxy skin, often turning black at maturity, but not always.  The oil content of the fruit tends to be higher than other types, making them creamier.

Guatemalan Avocados are somewhat less cold tolerant, but still plenty hardy from south Florida to central Florida.  They are fairly salt tolerant.  The fruit can vary in size but are usually larger than pure Mexican types.  Guatemalan avocados have a thicker skin, usually with a rough texture, and color can vary from dark green to black.  The oil content of the fruit is average, somewhere between the Mexican and West Indian types.  The fruit takes the longest to develop on the tree compared to the other types.

West Indian Avocados can be somewhat vulnerable to cold and are better planted in the southern part of Florida, or in a warm microclimate or coastal region further north.  They have a much higher level of salt tolerance compared to Mexican types.  The leaves tend to be larger and more round.  The skin of the fruit is thin and usually shiny but sometimes dull green.  The fruit can vary in size but some of the largest avocados come from the West Indian race.  The oil content is lower than Guatemalan and Mexican types and can have a more watery flavor.  Often when people refer to “Florida” avocados, they are actually referring to West Indian varieties.

Many cultivated Avocado varieties are a hybrid of two or more of these types.  It is important to note that these categories don’t necessarily indicate the growth rate/size of the tree, amount of fruit production, harvest season, or flavor/eating quality of the fruit.  Each cultivar will have its own tendencies.  

Perhaps the most common question asked by customers choosing an avocado variety is this:  “Is it a creamy ‘Hass’ or a watery ‘Florida’ avocado?”

The reality is that there is a large spectrum of flavor, and oil content alone doesn’t always determine whether an avocado is enjoyable.  We are used to buying Hass avocados at the grocery store, due to their massive commercial production in California and Mexico,  but the Hass variety isn’t produced and actually doesn’t perform all that well in Florida, because of our heavy seasonal rainfall and high level of humidity.  Many of our favorite avocado varieties come from all over the spectrum, including West Indian, Mexican, and Guatemalan types and their hybrids.  If you enjoy eating Avocados and they are an important part of your diet, you’ll be thrilled when you can pick them from your own trees!  One of the best perks of growing avocados is that they don’t need to be picked all at once, and can be harvested a few at a time from the tree and ripened on your counter for whenever you need them. We encourage you to try as many varieties as you can, and discover your own favorites!

Well Designed, Prints Clearly and Accurately, Software is a Bit of a Pain To Set Up
I've never used a printer in my entire life that didn't use finicky ink cartridges that are almost more expensive than the printer itself and need to be constantly replaced; this is a breath of fresh air, despite the dangers of spilling ink and making a mess. I found filling this with ink to be really easy, since you only have to pout the ink bottle in the correct port and leave it to fill itself, which takes about 10-15 seconds. the included ink bottles really only give you enough for a complete fill: You fill it, the printer set up charges the printer with ink, and the remaining ink in the bottles can refill about to the "max" line. Still, I really like this method. The top of the printer pops open like the hood of a car, to access the filling ports. It then has to be lowered down in two stages, presumably to prevent dropping the lid on fingers, though it doesn't seem heavy enough to cause major damage to adult fingers, and I have the printer elevated away from little fingers. This thing has the tiniest little LCD screen! It's a bit tricky on the Epson website to determine which software you need specifically. Obviously, my goal is to have a wireless printer for the entire home network. Some of the software seems specifically web-based, so you could theoretically print from work to a home printer, etc., though I balked at setting up or using an email address to send print jobs to. The wireless was annoyingly tricky to set up. I am still not sure if you're supposed to connect a computer and the printer to the wifi separately, or the printer first and then the computer would automatically recognize it, or what. I did successfully connect the printer to the wifi, but couldn't install some of the Epson software - it kept failing - but a quick test did allow me to print wirelessly, so I decided to just call it good and be done. Everything I have printed has been very clear and crisp. It could be a little darker and have more contrast, but that may be how I printed, or printing from pdf. It printed without jamming or sticking, and everything came through quickly and accurately, without leaks or streaks on my paper. I haven't tried the photocopier function though, since I mainly need it for printing and not scanning.

No automatic double sided. Bulky external paper tray
Set up was easy. I didn’t like the exterior paper storage. The whole printer was slick and stealthy until it got to that obnoxious tray. Set up was easy. Printer does not have automatic duplex capabilities you have to manually flip the paper to do double sided. I also didn’t think the printing quality was great.

Sorry, Brother. Epson smashed you.
I have been a long time Epson user. I have owned their printers, all-in-ones, movie projectors, and even a receipt scanner. In all cases, I have always found them to be the best performance per dollar of any of the big guys. There kind of like Panasonic in cameras where people may talk about some other big names, but what you get per dollar is always good from them. Somewhere along the way, I got disillusioned with companies charging me $60 per pack of ink. I'd get really mad when I couldn't print black text because red or something was out. For a few years, I gave up and just went black and white laser printer. The toner was dirt cheap, and my printing cost dropped to virtually nothing. But, my ability to pront pictures was gone. No more color at all. I'd have to go to a print business if I needed color copies. Well, this finally changed that. The EcoTank is a great design. The "Eco" stands for the economic cheap ink it takes, and the "Tank" refers to the big holding tanks for the ink and give long ink life. Epson probably makes the best ink, but many manufacturers sell inks for this printer. There's none of the stupid compatability issues with cartridges. It's 2026, so of course it all connects wirelessly over WiFi. It's wonderful. The only issue is that you might have to do a little more maintenance to keep it reliable. If you let old ink carts sit too long, you could just replace them. Here that isn't an option. I've seen Youtube recommendations that say you should probably print a color page every week or two, so factor that in to keep it running well. I love it. Five stars.

Solid Printer for Regular Use
I ordered this Epson EcoTank ET-2903 because I wanted a printer that did not make me feel held hostage by tiny ink cartridges. The refillable tank system is the main reason this printer stands out. Being able to see the ink levels on the front and refill from bottles makes the whole process feel less wasteful and less stressful. Setup was straightforward. Filling the ink tanks was easier than I expected because the bottles are keyed to the right color, so you are not guessing where each one goes. I did not have a mess during setup, and that was my biggest concern with a tank printer. Print quality is strong for normal home and office use. Black text comes out clean and easy to read, and color prints are bright enough for school projects, labels, recipes, forms, and casual photo printing. It is not the fastest printer I have ever used, but the tradeoff is lower ink stress and better long-term value. The wireless printing is convenient once it is connected. I like being able to print from my phone or laptop without moving files around. The scanner and copier are also useful for everyday paperwork, receipts, and documents. A couple practical notes: this is a rear-feed paper tray style printer, so plan where you are putting it because it needs some clearance. Also, it does not automatically print double-sided, so duplex printing takes a manual flip. For value, the ink tank system is what makes this worth it. If you print regularly and are tired of buying cartridges, this is a smart home office upgrade.

Epson EcoTank ET-2903
Epson ecotank are great replacements for standard printers. The fact that you get to use the ink bottles rather than the rip off ink cartridges that only last a little while is an amazing benefit. They print well and have a good print quality, so much so that we have one for normal printing and one for sublimation printing. I do all my printing wireless and have the rate occurrence that it has connectivity issues, like all printers. It holds a good amount of paper making refills less often Than the cheaper printers. To me it has been perfect for my small home business.
