Oro Negro Avocado – Rich and Buttery
The Oro Negro avocado, meaning “black gold,” is a premium variety known for its rich, buttery flavor and smooth texture. It’s an excellent alternative to the Hass avocado and is ideal for USDA Zones 9B-11.
Tree Characteristics:
• Size & Growth: Oro Negro trees can grow up to 30 feet, but can be kept at 15-20 feet with regular pruning.
• Flower Type: Type B, which pairs well with Type A varieties like Hass for optimal pollination.
• Production Capability: Oro Negro is a heavy producer, making it well-suited for both home gardens and small-scale farming.
Fruit Qualities & Harvest Time:
• Fruit Size: Medium to large, weighing 12-20 ounces each.
• Origin & Flavor: This variety has a buttery, creamy flavor with a slightly nutty taste, similar to Guatemalan avocados.
• Harvest Time: Ripens from November to January, providing a rich harvest in the cooler months.
Care Tips: Oro Negro thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. Regular pruning helps maintain the tree’s height and ensures good airflow, promoting healthy growth and fruit production.

Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
