Botanical Name: Persea americana
Common Names: Edranol
Edranol is a classic B-type avocado variety originally selected in California that does exceptionally well in Mediterranean-style climates. It yields medium to large pear-shaped fruit with dark green, finely pebbled skin that stays green when fully ripe. The pale yellow flesh is creamy, fibreless, and packed with high oil content, delivering a rich, buttery, and distinctively nutty flavour. It makes an outstanding backyard tree for anyone looking for a reliable producer with high-quality fruit.
Features:
Ideal prune height range: 4-5m
pH growing conditions: 6.0 to 6.5
Shade or full sun: Prefers full sun with protection from harsh hot winds
Minimum pot year 5: Not recommended for long-term pots, plant in-ground or 100L+ minimum
Time to fruit age: 2-3 years from grafted tree
Edranol is a vigorous, upright growing tree with good disease resistance and moderate cold tolerance once established. As a B-type flowering variety, it crops reliably on its own but works as an exceptional cross-pollination partner for A-type varieties like Hass or Reed to boost overall yields. Fruit ripens through mid-season from winter into spring. Plant in free-draining soil with plenty of organic matter, as avocados hate waterlogged roots.
Interesting Notes:
The flesh features a very small to medium seed, meaning you get a much higher ratio of usable flesh per fruit compared to many standard commercial types.
While lesser known in supermarkets due to thin skin, Edranol is widely considered by avocado connoisseurs and rare fruit growers to be one of the best-tasting avocados available.
