Avocado ‘Fuerte’

A Spanish variety, Fuerte means strong which relates to the growth habit of the tree. Once the most popular avocado in USA, until the discovery of the Haas, the smooth bright green skin does not change colour as the fruit ripens, and the flavour is sweeter and more reminiscent of hazelnut than that of Haas. With less fat than Haas, this variety still appeals to many growers and avocado aficionados around the world. Cold-hardy and suited to most Australian climates. Grafted on Reed rootstock.
