Fuerte avocados

$48.00

Fuerte avocados from trees at Shady Lane Farm in Fallbrook, San Diego County, harvested by me and shipped to you. These are clean avocados: the farmer does not spray anything on his trees. I’ll pack as many as I can into a box, usually 8-10 (about 5 pounds of avocados). Every avocado in the box should ripen perfectly or else I’ll send you another box.

Shipping is on Tuesday, February 3, arriving to you a day or two after that.

Shipping is included in the price for any California location.

Description

Fuerte is the avocado variety upon which the California industry was built. In 1911, Fuerte was discovered in Mexico, brought up to California, and propagated by West India Gardens Nursery of Altadena. It was the most popular avocado until Hass overtook it in the 1970’s.

Unlike Hass, the skin of a Fuerte avocado remains green when the fruit is ripe. It is slightly larger than Hass, on average, as is its seed. Some still consider Fuerte to be the finest avocado variety in the world; it is certainly one of my favorites.

The Fuerte season in Southern California is winter, but it can last into spring in some years.
