Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Bacon Avocado Tree, Persea americana 'Bacon'
The Bacon Avocado delivers premium winter fruit when other varieties are well past season, a cold-tolerant, productive specimen that earns its place in serious edible landscapes. Mature stock means established root systems, faster fruit production, and immediate presence in the planting scheme.
Why Bacon Avocado
Winter Harvest Window: Ripens late autumn through winter, filling the gap left by Hass and Fuerte and extending productive season across a multi-variety orchard planting.
Cold Tolerance: Among the most frost-resilient avocado cultivars available, performing reliably in cooler coastal and inland climates where other varieties struggle.
Smooth-Skinned Fruit: Medium to large fruit with green, thin skin and a clean, buttery flavour profile suited to high-end culinary use.
Type B Pollinator: Functions independently but significantly increases yields when planted alongside Type A varieties such as Hass. Valuable as both a producer and a cross-pollinator in orchard design.
Advanced Specimens Available: Supplied as mature stock for properties that require immediate canopy, yield potential, and visual weight from day one.
Ideal Applications
Prestige Residential Orchards: A cornerstone variety for curated edible landscapes on high-value residential properties.
Multi-Variety Avocado Groves: Pair with Hass, Fuerte, or Reed to ensure continuous harvest across the full season and maximise cross-pollination.
Large-Scale Landscape Plantings: Reaches 5–7m at maturity; well-suited to estate properties, rural retreats, and acreage developments where canopy and productivity are both priorities.
Entertainer and Kitchen Garden Integration: Positioned to serve both landscape and culinary function on premium properties where edible design is deliberate, not incidental.
Specimen & Installation
