Avocado Fuerte

Fuerte Avocado The Fuerte avocado is often recognized as the archetypal avocado, green in color, pear-like in shape, and ranging from six to twelve ounces in size. It has smooth, medium-thin skin that peels easily, with dense, pale green flesh. It is marginally oily with a rich, creamy flavor and notes of hazelnut, and it is still considered by many to be the best-tasting avocado.

The Fuerte avocado tree is large and spreading, one of the more cold-hardy varieties and the leaves have a strong anise smell when crushed. The fruit set of the tree is irregular, as some trees never seem to have much fruit while others are productive, and it has a tendency to alternate in bearing, producing an adequate crop every other year, depending on the weather at setting time, along with other factors.

The name Fuerte, meaning “strong” or “hardy” in Spanish, was given to this variety because it survived the great freeze of 1913 in Los Angeles, California.

Fuerte Avocados are medium in size, long-shaped fruit with green, leathery, easy-to-peel skin. Eat fresh or make guacamole, as Fuerte have a nice creamy and delicious flavor. Avocado trees are subtropical plants and have large leaves.
