    I live in Nong Khai province in NE Thailand. Avocado is hardly known to the local farmers, although the fruit in the market is getting some attention. 5 years ago I started planting various varieties. Booth 7, Booth 8, Peterson, Buccaneer, Fuerte, Reed, PeterHass, Hass and Pinkerton. I have just over 100 trees. The Pinkerton is by far the best producer. As you mention, the long ripening period is an issue. Some fruit spoiled during the long wait. This year we have a big crop. In order to sell to the locals who don't have much knowledge about Avocado we have to pre-ripen it. That means preparing the fruit after picking to avoid losses during ripening. I haven't seen much info on how to wash/sterilize the fruit prior to laying down for 2 weeks.

    I have a Pinkerton (Four Winds Nursery) which I over wintered in a 5 gallon pot in my little green house with a Gem, a Lamb, Carmen, and a Sharwel. It's been a warm winter, for us up in Humboldt zone 9a or b and the Pinkerton told me, well it sure looked like it want out. So i put them out and in the ground and son-of-a-gun the rains came with high winds up to 50 MPH. The Gem and the Lamb are looking about as tired of this constant rain as I am. The Pinkerton doesn't look much different from in the greenhouse. It mainly has two opposing limbs about a foot long and 2 1/2 feet from the ground which I tied to bamboo sticks to keep them from breaking off in the wind. It's mounded pretty good, covered in yard leaves and wood shavings. I didn't know it was a compact tree which is good as I planted pretty close (5' to 6') from the Sharwel. Glad i found your take on the Pinkertin. Now I'll do all i can to keep it healthy and fruitful. Thanks for information.

    Pinkertons tend to be consistent producers while young. When mature they become more alternate bearing. Greg Alder has a great article which busts some of the myths around the variety, all of which I can confirm with my one Pinkerton. The main disappointment is that it doesn’t really ripen much earlier than Hass.
