You'll have a winner with the Fuerte Avocado, a tree producing excellent quality fruit about 7 to 12 oz in size from November to June. The Fuerte does pretty good in the cold taking temps in the upper twenties if not too long in duration. Add a little protection on nights atypically cold or plant in a large container. As an added bonus, this avocado variety is a spreading tree that will make some shade as well, one that will cool off the hot side of your house or make a child’s backyard play area bit more pleasant. Pair with a Hass avocado for an extended harvest. The Fuerte, like all avocado trees likes good draining soil. Use the fruit for all avocado uses in the kitchen, from BLT sandwiches to home made guacamole to an incredible garnish on any salad. We ship all of our fruit trees potted in soil in ensure a healthier start when planted in orchard or garden. Tree ships about 3 to 4 feet tall.
