Belmont Red Avocado

Belmont avocado is a rare West Australian cultivar known for its unusually large fruit—ranging from 600 to 1300 grams—and a unique skin that turns beautifully red when ripe, making it easy to know when it’s ready to eat. This red colouring sets it apart from typical green or black varieties. The flesh offers a mild flavour, making it ideal for people who prefer a less intense avocado taste.

Grow this tree in a 70-90% sunny position when mature with well-drained soil and protection from frost. Water well during establishment and fruiting, and mulch to keep the roots cool. It prefers consistent warmth and benefits from companion planting with pollinator types like Bacon. We believe it's an A type pollinator.

Belmont avocado is a talking point in any garden and a true collector’s gem—combining size, colour, and local breeding pride. Perfect for WA growers wanting something unique.
