It has a glossy, amber, nearly black, thin skin and rich, nutty flesh. Fruit size can range from four ounces to eight ounces. Fruit begins to ripen from August through November.
Hardy to about 18 F. Avocados are commercially valuable and are cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climates throughout the world. They have a green-skinned, fleshy body that may be pear-shaped, egg-shaped, or spherical.
Commercially, they ripen after harvesting. Avocado trees are partially self-pollinating, and are often propagated through grafting to maintain predictable fruit quality and quantity. The variety of avocado is grower's choice.
Avocados are large plants. They can grow to 30 feet tall and their footprint can be 15 or 20 across. Of course, you can prune them to be smaller.
They like as much sun as you can provide. They like to be well drained after a rain or watering. So, a large sunny spot with good drainage is best.
Once established, avocados are fairly tough trees. However, many avocados fail during the first 24 months due to poor soil drainage, sunburn or improper irrigation habits.
