Brogdon is the go-to choice for avocado growers in Central and North Florida who are nervous about frost. It is one of the most cold-tolerant Florida avocados, surviving dips to 26F with established roots. The gorgeous dark skin and superb flavor make it a crowd favorite at farmers markets.
Rich, nutty, and buttery with high fat content. Medium-sized fruit with dramatic dark purple-to-black skin when ripe. Excellent flavor comparable to Hass.
