Bacon Avocado Tree for Sale

The Bacon Avocado Tree is a good choice if you want a green-skinned avocado variety that handles cooler conditions better than many other avocados. It is a Type B avocado and is often planted as a pollination partner for Type A varieties such as Hass and Pinkerton.

Bacon avocados are medium-sized, oval fruit with smooth green skin that stays green when ripe. The flesh is pale yellow-green with a creamy texture and a mild, buttery flavour. It is not as strongly nutty as Hass, but it is still a lovely eating avocado for salads, toast, guacamole and fresh use from the tree.

The Bacon is known as one of the more cold-tolerant avocado varieties, which makes it useful for home gardens that are warm and sheltered but still get the occasional cold snap. Young trees must still be protected from frost, especially in their first few winters.

If you already have a Hass or Pinkerton avocado, Bacon is a practical partner tree. Planting both flower types near each other improves pollination and helps both trees set more fruit.

Our Avocado Trees have all been grafted, which means they produce much sooner than seed-grown trees. With the right position, steady watering and protection from frost, a grafted Bacon Avocado Tree can become a productive evergreen fruit tree for the home garden.
