The avocado plant (Persea americana) is a subtropical tree with lustrous dark green evergreen leaves that often emerge flushed with orange or red. It is grown for the abundant production of its well-known, delicious, buttery fruits. Trees can be grown as potted specimens and protected indoors during Canadian winters. 'Gem' offers one of the richest and creamiest avocado experiences with delicious flavour and texture. It has black skin with golden lenticels. Trees have good production and bear consistently every year. They are semi-compact and vase shaped perfect for small gardens and containers. The fruit is 7-11 oz ripening from spring to fall. Hardy to about 0 degrees C (32 degrees F). It is an A Type and requires a B Type for cross pollination and to get fruit on both trees.
