"Avocado trees, as with all living organisms, have a life span during which the tree

develops into maturity, bears fruit for a period of years, and then declines until it finally

dies. A few individual seedling avocado trees growing in dooryards are estimated to be about

100 years old. The first commercial Fuerte grove was planted in 1913 and is now 95

years old."

As far as bearing fruit (assuming the farmers used graphing techniques)...."Markeson assumed in his economic study of the Florida avocado industry "That an avocado tree comes into commercial production in 5 years and has a life span of 35 years.""

excerpts from "California Avocado Society 1970-71 Yearbook 54: 33-36"
