Wertz Avocado

The Wertz Avocado has relatively smooth, thick, dark-green green skin that peels easily. The flesh is a pale yellow with a tinge of green. The fruit would be almost perfectly oval, except it goes a bit narrow at the top. The stone inside is large. It is a hybrid.

The tree is a bit smaller than other avocado trees, so it is often sold for backyard planting in regions where planting an avocado tree in your backyard would make sense (e.g. not in Glasgow.)

An important variety in Israel.

Cooking Tips

Developed by Roy Wertz in California from a seedling he took a chance on in 1935. Introduced commercially in 1948.

Other names

AKA: Littlecado Avocado, Minicado Avocado, Wurtz Avocado
