Avocado Fuerte, Persea americana, is a hybrid of the Mexican and Guatemalan types of avocado. The trees are medium-sized evergreens producing pear-shaped fruit, small to medium in size with slightly rough, thin green skin. The flesh is of a buttery texture with excellent flavour. Fuerte's cropping, maturing from August to November, can be cyclical, bearing well every second year, but it’s well worth the wait. Ideal cross-pollinator for Hass and Reed.
