Zutano Avocado is a heavy producer of thin skinned glossy green fruits that are ready to harvest from mid-autumn to late winter. Known for having mild flavor and lower fat content, Zutano avocados are more cold tolerant than other varieties. Forming a rounded canopy with spreading branches, they can be trained to grow in containers or be planted in the ground. Zutano is a Type B flowering avocado and can be used to pollinate Type A avocados. Although they are self-pollinating, improved harvests can be achieved by planting at least one of each flower type. Pro grower’s tip: Whitewashing exposed branches with diluted latex paint in summertime helps prevent sunburn. Cold hardy to 25F.
