big and tasty, I think they a better than hass in all aspects except robustness of the skin.

Fuerte have a thin green skin so they don't travel well and so not used much commercially.

you pick them while still hard and let them ripen in a cupboard.

Better still, plant a Hass next to it.

Hass are an A variety, Fuerte are a B.
Companion planted you get heaps more fruit

I'm keen to try one now Slowboat is your tree starting to bud near the tips at the moment as I've seen this is important when grafting
