After studying the various types of Avocados available here we have come to the conclusion that my trees are Persea americana var. drymifolia. The Mexican Avocado. The leaves when crushed smell of Anise the Guatemalan and West Indian varieties do not. The description of the fruit also matches.
The flowers of the tree closest to the House are more advanced than the other trees. It is only a couple of yards from the septic tank and appreciates it's neighbour.
This morning's photo shows the flowers that had opened yesterday that are now closed never to open again. This is a small panicle, most of the others have about 30 or more flowers. I will be lucky if only 1 or 2 of the flowers produce fruit.
