Grow a premium Florida favorite with this Grafted Oro Negro Avocado Tree, shipped in a 1-gallon nursery pot with soil to maintain root stability during transit.

Oro Negro (meaning “Black Gold”) is believed to be a seedling of the Monroe avocado and is highly valued for its smooth, buttery texture and rich flavor similar to Hass. The fruit turns a deep black when ripe and peels easily from its yellow-green flesh.

This is a grafted tree, ensuring true-to-type fruit and earlier production compared to seed-grown plants.

Oro Negro is a Type B flowering avocado, meaning fruit production improves when planted near a Type A variety such as Choquette, Florida Hass, Lamb, or Hall.
