Persea americana 'Bacon' (Standard) is a tastefully captivating blend of distinct aesthetic charm and abundant fruit-bearing abilities. Originating from Mexico and Central America, this evergreen tree, fondly known as the Bacon Avocado, transmutes everyday landscapes into lush, green tropical paradises while soaring up to a majestic 20-25 feet in height. Its rich, glossy dark green foliage is a year-round delight, contributing to the plant's reliability and visual appeal. It displays a remarkable toughness against the cold, unflinchingly enduring temperatures dipping to 25°F, making it a steadfast choice for gardeners in USDA zones 9-11. This tree doesn't just offer leafy grandeur; it's also prolific in the production of large, smooth-skinned avocados. Each fruit houses a creamy and subtly flavoured flesh, with a delightfully mild nuttiness that makes each bite a delight, perfect for incorporating into your home-grown meals. The Bacon Avocado is more than just a plant- it's an exotic and enticing offering of both visual and culinary marvels.
