Avocado yield
Fun fact! Some varieties of avocado, such as Hass, tend to only bear well in alternate years. Following a season of low yield, due to factors such as cold, the trees produce more abundantly the next season. Avocado is also a heavy crop that depletes stored carbohydrates, resulting in a reduced yield the following year, establishing an alternate bearing pattern.
