Species overview
The Persea americana 'Fuerte', commonly known as the Fuerte Avocado Tree, is a semi-evergreen fruit tree prized for its high-quality, creamy, pear-shaped avocados with a rich, nutty flavour. This vigorous tree grows up to 8 to 12 metres tall but can be pruned to a manageable size for home gardens or orchards. Flowering in late winter to spring, it is a Type B pollinator, making it ideal for cross-pollination with Type A avocado varieties such as Hass to enhance fruit production.
Low-maintenance and highly productive, the Fuerte Avocado Tree thrives in warm climates, offering delicious fruit and shade to gardens.
