(Avocado trees require tropical or subtropical climate because they can’t tolerate either freezing or extreme heat.); Mĩtĩ ya mĩkorobia ya hass ĩkaga wega nĩũndũ icigo ngũrani ikoragwo na rĩera rĩa gatagatĩ-inĩ kana ihehu. (Hass avocados thrive in Kenya because different areas experience either equatorial or tropical climates.)
