"because they are family" - Nope. They are both angiosperms (flowering plants) but that is all they have in common phylogenically. Following that logic, all flowering plants would taste similar. Potatoes, sugar cane and lemons are all also angiosperms.

One thing they do have in common, which may account for the similar taste is high monounsaturated fat content. These fats usually taste rich, nutty and slightly sour. Other oily foods in this category (and flavour profile) include sesame, olives, and duck fat.

Will a avocado tree survive in snow?

probably not, they dont like the cold much

An avocado tree can survive occasional light snowfall, especially if it is a large, well-developed plant and the snow does not lay on the ground. However, the avocado is a tropical tree, and doesn't like the cold. It is prone to frostbite. I imagine that avocado trees planted in areas that receive heavy snow, or snow that lays on the ground for days at a time, would do very poorly and probably not survive.
