A new avocado variety, the Harricado, is making waves among New Zealand growers. This chance seedling, discovered in Nelson by local man Harry Pearson, is being hailed as the perfect avocado for home orchards.
Known for its creamy, smooth flesh and slow oxidization, the Harricado is a thin-skinned variety that doesn’t transport well, but is ideal for those who want a steady supply of fresh avocados from their own backyard.
For more information on the Harricado, including how it was discovered and its availability, you can read the full story on the Grow Te Puke website: Harricado: A New Home Orchard Avocado Variety from Nelson.
