Pinkerton Avocado Tree

The Pinkerton avocado tree is an excellent medium sized garden and or landscape avocado tree.

Pinkerton is a heavy producing avocado tree, and it starts setting a lot of fruit at an early age. Pinkerton is also a consistent producer but for climate conditions it is far less hardy than Fuerte.

Pinkerton is not used as a commercial variety since Hass is the primary avocado fruit for the retail market. You can find Pinkerton fruit at the farmers markets and make some very fine dishes from it.

Fruit are pear in shape with waxy bumps on the skin much like Hass but more slender. Pinkerton does like Hass, have a high oil content for the butter cream like texture and flavor.
