Considered by some to be the world’s best, this avocado sets the standard of excellence in Hawaii, and in Hawaii alone. Although the Sharwil comprises the majority of Hawaii’s commercial avocado crop, USDA restrictions prevent sale of this avocado to the mainland. So you’ll have to grow it yourself! And why not? The rich, buttery avocados are small seeded, of excellent quality, and have a smooth creamy texture. This “B” flowered tree is small for an avocado tree, bears generous crops of 8 to 16 oz. ovoid fruit. Once ripe, the fruit will hang on the tree for months, leading to a welcome extension of avocado season. What’s not to like?
Having said that, for us folks in Northern California who experience cool springs, pollination and fruit set can be difficult with a “B” type flowering pattern (like Sharwil has). In those situations we recommend planting a Greengold instead of a Sharwil. The Greengold is a seedling of Sharwil and shares its flavor, richness, and tree size, but is an “A” type and more suitable for areas with cooler springs.

Still have a few nice trees for 2024.

Trees are approximately 3 feet tall and sell for $45 each cash or check or Venmo, or $47 via credit card or PayPal. All trees are sold in a poly grow sleeve that is roughly equivalent to a #2 pot.
