Description

Bacon Avocado Tree is a late-producing variety of Avocado tree with exceptional fruit. Bacon Avocado Tree is a mid-winter variety. It’s a highly productive Avocado tree with a lovely upright and spreading habit. Its dark green, glossy leaves lend an attractive, tropical appeal to the 15-20 feet of height. The outstanding feature of your Bacon Avocado Tree is of course its fruit. The oval fruits ripen in late fall and into spring. Smooth, green skin provides a lively compliment to the lighter creamy flesh within. The fruits of your Bacon Avocado are particularly easy to peel and have a light, subtle flavor that compliments almost any dish.
