Variety description
10 August 2026
The average tree height of this breeding number is about 4.8 meters. The plant is characterized by an open and spreading crown structure.
Fruit shape depends on climatic conditions: in the cool climate of Southern California, they acquire more rounded outlines, whereas in hot regions, such as the San Joaquin Valley, the fruits become more elongated.
This number is part of the avocado scientific collection maintained by the University of California at Riverside and is used for breeding work, including the search for traits of resistance to root rot caused by Phytophthora cinnamomi.
