Avocado trees bear one of the most resource-intensive fruits under wide cultivation, with each avocado fruit requiring 70 litres (18 US gallons; 15 imperial gallons) of water to grow
Also:
As a subtropical species, avocados need a climate without frost and with little wind. High winds reduce the humidity, dehydrate the flowers, and affect pollination. When even a mild frost occurs, premature fruit drop may occur
... in the midst of our current ongoing man-made mass-extinction, many of those foods we grow that are highly vulnerable to early frost / unstable weather (which, I suspect, is most of them) will go the way of the dodo, for some of them possibly as soon as the upcoming decade.
Not your average vegetable, mind you:
