🥑 Avocado ‘Bacon’ – Cool-tolerant, smooth green skin, great Type-B pollinator

10" pot (24–48")

‘Bacon’ is appreciated for its good cool tolerance and smooth green skin that stays green at maturity. The flesh is creamy and mild—excellent in salads, toast, and light guacamole. A Type B flower, it pairs perfectly with Type A varieties (e.g., ‘Hass’) to boost fruit set.

Highlights

• Green when ripe; medium seed; creamy, pleasant flavor.
