Bacon fruit

Grafted

Bacon

Mild, smooth, a little lighter than Hass. The skin is thinner. Valued as much for cold hardiness and pollen as for flavor.

Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.

Taste
Mild, smooth, a little lighter than Hass. The skin is thinner. Valued as much for cold hardiness and pollen as for flavor.
Ripens
Fall into winter. Useful when the big summer Florida fruit is gone.
Zones
Zones 8b to 11.
Hardiness
A Mexican hybrid that can take upper-20s nights better than Pollock or Russell. Still cover a brand-new graft.
Size
Upright and easier to tuck into a side yard. Prune the top if you want it under 20 feet.
Tips
One of the 3-gallon trees we ship. It is also the pollinator we recommend next to Hass or Choquette.
Pollination
Flower type B. Excellent partner for Hass, Super Hass, Choquette, and Russell.

Estimate from Naples

UPS Ground for a 3-gallon packed in about a 12×12×30 in box. The carton bills near 32 lb. Includes fuel and home delivery. A smaller box costs less. Not a label.
