Fruits sometimes called alligator pears (8)

I believe the answer is:

avocados

(Other definitions for avocados that I've seen before include "'Pear' fruit" , "Dark green pear-shaped fruits with creamy flesh" , "O Ava cods about the pears" , "Large pulpy green fruits" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
