Nabal Butter Avocado

Nabal Avocado – Persea americana 'Nabal'

Also known as: Nabal Butter Avocado

Nabal is a round, buttery, Guatemalan-type avocado prized for its creamy flesh and nutty flavour. The fruit is medium to large, with thick, slightly pebbled green skin that stays green when ripe. Its rich, smooth texture makes it a favourite for guacamole and fresh eating. The tree is vigorous and upright, with excellent productivity once mature.

Features:

Ideal prune height: 3–5m

pH range: 6.0–7.0

Sun preference: Part shade until 2m then 70% sun.

Minimum pot size by year 5: 75L

Time to fruit: 3–5 years from graft

Harvest period: Late autumn to early winter

Notable traits: Round shape, creamy texture, high oil content

Nabal prefers deep, well-drained soil and needs consistent moisture during flowering and fruiting. It’s moderately cold-hardy once established and performs well in Perth’s climate with protection from frost and strong wind. Cross-pollination with a B-type variety (like Bacon or Zutano) can boost fruit set.

If you love creamy, rich avocado with a dense, satisfying bite, Nabal delivers in spades. A top choice for home growers who value flavour and productivity.
