Dave is an authority on gardening. If what I post and what he posts are in conflict, then believe him instead of me :-).

Okay Nick, thanks! :)

And thank you for replying to the thread, Dave. I can't help but wonder why avocados do well in other warm states like FL and CA, the dryness maybe... Anyway, that's great to hear that some of my other favorites actually do quite well there, e.g. pecans, pistachios, figs.

LOL, I thought it was a plus to be 'able' to plant more than once a year. I've been doing some reading, and the authors suggested planting perennials out in the fall to winter over so they have a stronger root system in the spring. What I'm not sure of is whether they will live through summer or not (?).

Well your partly rite about the avocado, you see it is too hot here, too cold here and too dry here for them...They are a true tropical..Likes the humid weather of fla. and s. cal..Plus I had 28 degrees at my house two weeks ago..I think it totally killed one of my ficus trees, that would surly be a death toll for most avocados...But yes there are tons of perennials here, alot are available year round but alot are here for sale only in the spring. Gardeners here are so excited about annuals in the fall and the great blast of color you get from them until mid April, so they tend to foget about other stuff..The nurseries carry what sells well for that time of year....
