Avocado that laughs at frost: Mexicola Grande for cooler climates

Avocado Mexicola Grande

Avocado that laughs at frost: Mexicola Grande for cooler climates

  • 🟢Avocado Mexicola Grande is one of the best cold-hardy avocados you can grow. It can tolerate temperatures down to the low 20sF, making it ideal for gardeners in zones 8b-10 who want a dependable avocado.
  • 🟢Medium-sized tree, grows to about 15-20 feet tall, but you can keep it smaller with pruning.
  • 🟢Glossy black fruit, thin-skinned, smooth, and shiny black when ripe - easy to peel and eat fresh.
  • 🟢Anise-scented leaves: its foliage has a mild anise aroma when crushed, which is unique to Mexican-type avocados.
  • 🟢Creamy and rich: the fruit has a high oil content and a buttery flavor, excellent for guacamole or toast.
  • 🟢Early producer: often fruits earlier in the season compared to other varieties.
  • 🟢 A great addition if you're looking for a productive, flavorful avocado that can handle cooler temps!
