Mexicola Grande Avocado

Botanical Name: Persea americana 'Mexicola Grande'
Common Names: Mexicola Grande Avocado

Mexicola Grande is a top-tier Mexican avocado variety that handles both extreme cold and summer heat with ease. It yields larger fruit than the standard Mexicola—up to three times the size—with rich, creamy, nutty flesh and high oil content. The deep-purple to glossy black skin is so thin you do not even need to peel it. It's a stellar choice for Perth backyard growers looking for an exceptionally hardy, high-performing, and fast-fruiting avocado tree.

Mexicola Grande is a Type A flowering avocado tree that grows vigorously into an upright evergreen. It flowers in spring and crops heavily from late winter into spring. The glossy black, pear-shaped fruits offer a smooth texture and rich flavor. Crushing the leaves releases a distinctive anise scent. It thrives in well-draining soil with plenty of organic matter, consistent watering, and a solid blanket of mulch.

Interesting Notes:
Mexicola Grande is legendary for its extreme cold hardiness, easily surviving frosts down to -5c once established. The delicate skin is loaded with antioxidants, meaning you can wash and eat the fruit skin and all, just like a plum.

Its fast growth rate and high yield make Mexicola Grande a prized addition to any home orchard or suburban food forest.
