What is the difference between Type A and Type B avocados?
Avocados have very unique flowers. Rather than having separate male and female flowers like some plants, or both male and female
anatomy available to interact within the same blossom as others do – avocado flowers essentially change sexes! Type A
avocados bloom with their female reproductive parts available first, and do so in the morning. Type B avocado flowers also open in the morning, but in their male phase. Then, each of them pull a switcheroo – and the
flowers open as the opposite sex the following day in the afternoon.
Because avocado flowers take turns exposing their male and female parts, it is more difficult for a single tree to pollinate itself and
thus bear fruit. Again, it does happen… but to a lesser extent than when an opposite Type A or
Type B is around, wagging their
complimentary sex parts around. That is why in nearly all commercial avocado ranches, you’ll find multiple avocado varieties grown nearby to
increase cross-pollination. The most common partnership is Hass and
Fuerte.

AVOCADO Varieties
At a Glance All avocado varieties have many things in common:
They’re evergreen perennial trees, generally do best in USDA hardiness
zones 8 or 9 through 11, and don’t tolerate extreme heat or freezing
temperatures well. That is, with the exception of some hardy Mexican
varieties – highlighted below. Avocado trees enjoy ample sunshine and
water, but impeccably free-draining soil and absolutely no standing
water.

And of course, the best commonality of all: they supply delicious,
rich, creamy avocado fruit! The most sure-fire way to get a prolific
fruit-bearing avocado tree is to purchase a young grafted nursery tree,
which should bear fruit within 2 to 4 years on average. On the other
hand, pit-grown trees can take 10-15 years to produce fruit and also
will not “breed true” to the parent seed. Note that avocados do not ripen on the tree. They must be harvested once mature, and allowed to finish ripening for 3 to 10 days at room temperature.
Harvesting
green Hass and Sir Prize avocados, because they don’t ripen on the tree. The time it takes for avocados to mature on the tree varies with
the variety. Some may be ready several months after fruit sets (the same
year) while many other types are harvested a year or longer after the initial fruit set, like Hass.
