Avocado 'Tonnage' (Persea americana)

The Tonnage avocado is a distinctive cultivar known for its remarkable productivity and sizable fruit yield, which is how it presumably got its name, suggesting it can produce a "tonnage" of fruit. This variety typically produces fruit that is large, with an oval to pear-shaped appearance. The skin of the Tonnage avocado is usually green, even when ripe, and has a texture that can range from smooth to slightly pebbled. The flesh of the Tonnage avocado is creamy, buttery, and rich in flavor, with a high oil content that is common in many avocado varieties. It's prized for its excellent taste and texture, making it a favorite for both culinary professionals and home cooks. The seed inside is sizeable, as is typical with avocados, but the flesh-to-seed ratio is favorable, offering plenty of edible fruit. Cultivation-wise, Tonnage avocados are appreciated for their resilience and adaptability. They thrive in warm climates typical of avocado-growing regions and require well-drained soil to
