How good is Avocado Black Prince?
  • We obtained Black Prince Avocado variety last year and at first didn't know much about it. Until we tried the first fruit! The fruit was large, oval, green and slightly pebbly. We were not sure if it would taste like some green avocados - watery and less buttery?
  • The fruit turned black couple days after it was picked, ripened and softened. We were pleasantly surprised, Black Prince deserves its title!
  • The fruit pulp is thick, and has a rich, nutty flavor. The little trees grew this year vigorously and didn't show any bug or deficiency problems. Superior variety for a backyard grower! Giving it 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • We have Black Prince Avocado in 3 gal pots, as well as in XX-Large size for local pick up - for those who want a large fruiting size tree, please contact our Garden Center to pre-order from our Growing Farm (B-Farm). It can be delivered and installed for you!

Now we import 89% of the U.S. avocado from Mexico! How much of a difference we could make if we were all growing our own avocados? Support our own horticulture, help Avocado to become grown in the USA!

💩 Which fertilizer to use: Organic or Inorganic?

ℹ️ Fertilizers help plants grow. They give plants nutrients they need. There are two types of fertilizers:

🐮 Organic Fertilizers:
  • · Made from natural materials: compost, manure, plant waste.
  • · Good for the soil and environment.
  • · Release nutrients slowly, which helps plants over time.


Inorganic Fertilizers:
  • · Made from chemicals in factories.
  • · Can give plants quick nutrients.
  • · Might harm the soil and environment over time.


⏺Pros of Organic Fertilizers:
  • · Better for the health of the soil.
  • · Helps good microorganisms live in the soil.
  • · Safer for pets and kids.

  • 🔴Cons of Inorganic Fertilizers:
