The Wilson Popenoe avocado is a truly unique and rare avocado variety originating from the Caribbean. Its distinctive feature is the bottle-shaped fruit, which grows up to an astounding 4 pounds, making it one of the largest avocado varieties you’ll ever see. The fruit has a smooth, creamy flesh that boasts an incredibly rich flavor, perfect for slicing over salads, spreading on toast, or creating indulgent guacamole.
Unlike most avocado trees, the Wilson Popenoe is low-growing, making it easier to maintain and harvest. This variety ripens early, with fruits maturing between June and July, providing an early summer treat. Due to its tropical origins, it thrives in warm, frost-free climates, and it’s a rare gem to find in Hawaii.
With  grafted plants available in 3-gallon containers, this is a limited opportunity to grow a special avocado that stands out not just for its size, but also for its taste and heritage.
