Pinkerton Avocado
✓ VerifiedCalifornia, USA
Pinkerton was developed in California and named after John Pinkerton, whose ranch it originated on, becoming valued specifically for an unusually small seed relative to its flesh volume and a long hang time on the tree, both traits that gave growers real flexibility in timing harvest around market demand.
