Description
Luna is the newest avocado to be developed by the University of California’s avocado breeding program. Released to farmers in 2023, you will be some of the first in the world to taste this variety. Luna’s harvest season is later than Hass. Smaller than Hass, on average, the Luna avocado has more of a pear shape, slightly smoother skin, and flesh inside that has a melting texture.
Reed is the favorite summer avocado variety of many in Southern California. Originating around 1948 in Carlsbad, San Diego County, Reed is a large, round avocado. Some call it “the green cannonball one.” It is known for its smooth texture, good flavor, and the high productivity of its tree.
These are clean avocados. None of the trees from which these avocados were harvested have ever been sprayed with anything.
I harvested the Lunas from Eli’s Farm in Fallbrook and the Reed avocados from my home grove in Ramona, San Diego County.
Learn more about the Reed variety in my profile here. My profile of Luna is upcoming.
