Makeup does WONDERS nowadays! Plus White folks age like avocados!!! Them folks be in the sun for 2 hours and they age 2 years.
The
avocado,
alligator pear or
avocado pear (
Persea americana) is a medium-sized,
evergreen tree in the laurel family (
Lauraceae). It is native to
the Americas and was first domesticated in
Mesoamerica more than 5,000 years ago. It was prized for its large and unusually
oily fruit.
[3] The tree likely originated in the highlands bridging south-central Mexico and
Guatemala.
[4][5][6] Avocado trees have a native growth range from Mexico to
Costa Rica.
[7] Its fruit, sometimes also referred to as an
alligator pear or
avocado pear, is botanically a large
berry containing a single large seed.
[8] Sequencing of its genome showed that the evolution of avocados was shaped by
polyploidy events and that commercial varieties have an
hybrid origin.
[9] Avocado trees are partly
self-pollinating, and are often
propagated through
grafting to maintain consistent fruit output.
[10] Avocados are presently cultivated in the tropical and
Mediterranean climates of many countries.
[4] Mexico is the world's
leading producer of avocados as of 2020, supplying nearly 30% of the global harvest in that year.
[11]
The fruit of domestic varieties have smooth, buttery, golden-green flesh when ripe. Depending on the
cultivar, avocados have green, brown, purplish, or black skin, and may be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical. For commercial purposes the fruits are picked while unripe and ripened after harvesting. The nutrient density and extremely high fat content of avocado flesh are useful to a variety of cuisines and are often eaten to enrich vegetarian diets.
[12]
In major production regions like
Chile,
Mexico and
California the water demands of avocado farms place strain on local resources.
[13] Avocado production is also implicated in other
externalities, including
deforestation and human rights concerns associated with the partial control of their production in Mexico by
organized crime.
[14][15][16][17] Global warming is expected to result in
significant changes to the suitable growing zones for avocados, and place additional pressures on the locales in which they are produced due to
heat waves and drought.

Persea americana is a tree that grows to 9–20 m (30–66 ft) with a trunk diameter between 0.3–0.6 m (1–2 ft). The leaves are 8–25 cm (3–10 in) long and alternately arranged.
