Dr. Joy McElory, a neighbor and frequent consumer of Fukumitsu's avocados says they're delicious.

"Mr. Fukumitsu has been bringing these avocados for years, it's the size of a baby and he brings it just out of kindness," said McElory." So, we every month or so we would hear a big clunk and there's a bag or a box of at least twenty, thirty avocados at least six pounds each, even bigger. And it occurred to us that this is not normal."
