Persea americana 'Zutano' is more than just an avocado tree; it is a horticultural gem that brings beauty and bounty to your landscape. Standing stately at 15 to 20 feet tall, the 'Zutano' is a flourishing pillar of glossy, evergreen foliage that remains vibrant year-round, lending your garden an evergreen charm. Witness the tree's resilience against winds and cold climates, with an impressive tolerance down to as low as 25°F. Sun-worshipping but adaptable to partial shade, this bountiful beauty only requires moderate water usage, making it a fabulous low-maintenance option. Come November through February, prepare for the joy of harvest as the 'Zutano' offers you its gift - medium-sized avocados with pebbly-textured, light green skin. Its light, creamy flesh enlivens any dish with a mild, nutty flavor that's tough to resist. To ensure an abundant harvest, cross-pollination is necessary, pairing optimally with a 'Hass' or 'Fuerte' avocado tree. The Persea americana 'Zutano' is not only a delightful spectacle but also a grocery store right in your backyard.
