I've been having some serious avocado cravings lately. Does anyone have any inside information about the availability (or lack of) avocadoes in Kunming? Is it farmed in Yunnan? I don't see why not, the temperature and growing conditions seem perfect.
Perhaps not suited to the Chinese palate?

I saw them at Metro. I can't remember the price, but I remember thinking I'd never pay that much for an avocado.

Avocados at Green Kunming = perfect!!! Thanks!
PS just out of curiosity does anyone know where avocadoes are grown in China? or are they imported?

"These avocados come from Ruili near the Burma border. They are grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers and are some of the largest and most flavorful we've ever had the pleasure to enjoy."
