I am a hybrid avocado cultivar producing elongated pear-shaped fruits with creamy flesh.

Developed in California by John Pinkerton in the 1960s; hybrid of Hass and Rincon.

Water weekly; drip irrigation preferred.

Requires full sun.

Thrives in 20–30°C; tolerates mild frost.

Plant in well-drained soil; spacing 5–6 meters apart.

Apply compost and NPK 8:10:10 every 2–3 months.

Botanical name: Persea americana; Cultivar: Pinkerton; Family: Lauraceae.

Fruits are safe; leaves and seeds toxic to pets.

Moderate; dense foliage reduces dust.

Fruits are rich in healthy fats, vitamin E, and potassium; used fresh, in guacamole, and salads.

Susceptible to root rot, thrips, and mites; requires good drainage.

Can live 40–60 years; starts fruiting in 3–4 years; peak yield from year 7 onward.
