Flowering & Pollination

Bacon is a Type B avocado variety. Its flowers open in the female stage during the afternoon and reopen in the male stage the following morning.

Although Bacon can self-pollinate, planting a compatible Type A avocado variety nearby, such as Hass or Reed, is recommended to help improve fruit set and potential harvest.

Cold Tolerance & Growing Zones

Bacon is recognized as one of the more cold-tolerant commonly grown avocado varieties. It is reported to tolerate temperatures around 26°F (-3°C), with mature established trees potentially surviving brief exposure to lower temperatures.

Recommended USDA Zones: 8–11

Actual cold tolerance depends on tree maturity, health, duration of exposure, and growing conditions. Protect young trees from freezing temperatures.
