The Fuerte variety is an established avocado favorite. It is a California winter variety that has an excellent flavor.

The name Fuerte was given after this variety was able to survive the great freeze of 1913 in California, and so it was given the name “Fuerte”, which means “strong” in Spanish.
It is one of the sole varieties to survive freezing temperatures.
This special tree was the beginning of the avocado industry in California!

Harvested late fall through spring( January -April), the Fuerte is the original high quality California Avocado.

These will produce within 1-3 years, whereas a seedling will take 10-15 years to produce.

***PLEASE NOTE: These trees are young grafted trees and sometimes grow from a bud on the SIDE, which in turn makes the branch grow to the side.

This is Normal.

If you want a tree that is perfectly straight, you will have to stake it up to train it if you want a straight tree, or go to a nursery that has already TRAINED the trees.

However not all of them are growing to the side. Please see the related image.***
