Collection profile

About the West Indian avocado group

West Indian, also called the Antillean group, is one of the three major horticultural groups of avocado rather than a single universal cultivar. It is associated with tropical lowland adaptation and is generally less cold tolerant than Mexican or Guatemalan material. Typical fruit are green at maturity with smooth, leathery skin, comparatively low oil content, and a relatively large seed, although individual accessions can vary.
