Fuerte avocados

$48.00

Fuerte avocados from mature trees at Shady Lane Farm in Fallbrook, San Diego County, harvested by me and shipped to you. These are clean avocados: the farmer tells me he 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 Wednesday, March 20, arriving to you a day or two after that.

Shipping included in price for any California location.

Description

Fuerte is the avocado variety upon which the California industry was built. Fuerte was brought up from Mexico in 1911 by West India Gardens Nursery of Altadena.

Unlike Hass (the most common commercial avocado today), the skin of Fuerte 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 in my top tier. Read more in my Fuerte avocado profile.

In most years, Fuerte avocados reach their peak in eating quality from January through March in Southern California.
