The smallest growing of the avocados with a lovely weeping habit, Wurtz is possibly the finest-flavoured avocado with rich tasty flesh. Green pear-shaped fruits are produced on a small tree. The best avocado for growing in pots, this is the variety for gardeners in frosty areas as it can be protected in the winter and moved back out into the sun in the summer. An ‘A’ type flowering variety, Wurtz needs a cross pollinator to produce good crops (Fuerte and Sharwill are suitable).
