Brogden Avocado

✓ Verified

Florida, USA

Brogden was selected in Florida specifically for cold tolerance beyond what typical Guatemalan and West Indian avocado types — the races most common in Florida's naturally warm, humid climate — can handle, making it a useful option for Florida growers in the state's more marginal, occasionally frost-prone growing zones.
