Persea americana ‘Kona Sharwil’

The avocado plant (Persea americana) is a subtropical tree with lustrous dark green evergreen leaves that often emerge flushed with orange or red. It is grown for the abundant production of its well-known, delicious, buttery fruits. Trees can be grown as potted specimens and protected indoors during Canadian winters. ‘Kona Sharwil’ are green avocados prized for their rich, nutty flavour, their small seed, and their ample buttery flesh all contained by a medium-thin skin. The fruit is 8-16 oz with a medium pebbly skin and great flavour ripening from November to January. The trees are upright growing. Cold tolerant to 0 degrees C (32 degrees F). It is a B Type and requires an A Type for cross pollination and to get fruit on both trees.
