This upright, compact, and prolific tree produces bigger fruit than Hass, and matures a month later. Dark green, pebbly skin turns purplish-black as the fruit ripens after harvest, from May to November. Easy to peel, revealing its exceptionally rich flavor and creamy texture inside. The type A flowers are self-fertile, but planting more or a complementary variety such as 'Sir Prize' may boost fruit set. Grafted on Zutano root stock.
LIGHT: Full sun
WATER: Water when top 3 inches of soil is dry.
SIZE: Reaches 15-20 ft. tall, 10-15 ft. wide; easily kept smaller with pruning.
