Persea americana ‘Mexicola Grande’

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. ‘Mexicola Grande’ is easy to peel with paper-thin black skin and creamy flavour. It ripens from late summer through mid-winter and is one of the most cold tolerant avocados to -7 degrees C (20 degrees F). It is an A Type and requires a B Type for cross pollination and to get fruit on both trees.
