Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste
- A productive Florida avocado with large green fruit and mild, creamy flesh. Less oily than Hass.
- Ripens
- Summer fruit in Southwest Florida. Pick when full size and let it soften in the kitchen.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- A West Indian-leaning Florida tree. Hard frost damages young wood. Naples is in its comfort range.
- Size
- A large yard tree, 25 to 35 feet if you never cut it. An annual heading cut keeps fruit in reach.
- Tips
- It earns its name by bearing. Thin a crowded canopy so air moves, and mound the planting hole in sandy, sometimes-wet ground.
- Pollination
- Flower type B. A type-A tree such as Choquette, Russell, or Hass nearby helps.
