Avocado Black Prince
Grow Your Own Food
Avocado variety - what's the taste?
We obtained Black
Prince Avocado variety this 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!

Avocado Q & A
from Ed Jones, the Avocado Guy
Q: Do I need to have more than one avocado tree in order to produce fruit?
A: While a single avocado tree will normally produce enough fruit for most people, it never hurts to have more than one tree and even more than one variety to increase the chances for good pollination. Be sure to look at our catalog for the many different varieties available from our store.

How to protect Avocado from cold and how hardy is it?

❄️ How to protect Avocado from cold and how hardy is it?
Growing Avocado trees in cooler regions is possible with the right variety and care. By choosing Cold Hardy types and protecting them during cold spells, you can successfully grow avocados outside tropical climates. The more mature your tree, the better it handles the cold.
❄️ What is Avocado cold hardiness?
Most Avocados are sensitive to frost, but some Mexican varieties can survive lows around 15°F once established, and brief dips near 10°F with good care.
👉 Cold tolerance depends on:
- ✦ Duration of cold: Short freezes are easier to survive.
- ✦ Sun exposure: More sun means better cold resistance.
- ✦ Wind protection: Wind can do more harm than temperature alone.
- ✦ Tree health: Regular fertilization, such as Sunshine Boosters, helps strengthen plants.
❄️ How to protect avocados from cold
- ✦ Bigger is better: Mature trees resist cold better than young ones.
- ✦ Wind protection: Plant on the south or southeast side of a building for warmth.
- ✦ Good fertilization: Healthy trees are stronger and more resilient.
- ✦ Watering: Water less in winter; overwatering in cold weather can cause root rot.
❄️ Protection for young plants
- ✦ Cover and mulch: Before a freeze, mound mulch around the base and cover with a blanket. Add Christmas lights or a small heater for extra warmth (use caution).
- ✦ Use microclimates: Plant near walls or buildings where it’s warmer and wind is reduced.
With a little planning and protection, you can enjoy fresh avocados even in cooler climates!
