This avocado was discovered growing in a sub-division of San Jose, CA called Willow Glen. This is a place that lies in the shadow of the Coast range, and gets pretty cold in the winter. Not where you’d go if you were prospecting for avocados. It came to our attention via longtime Santa Clara CRFG members Jeffery Wang and Sini Falkowski. They introduced it to us as an extremely rich, dense-fleshed avocado. It looked pretty unremarkable, like a standard Hass. Upon tasting it, the lightbulb went on: It was instantly apparent that here was a very unusual avocado, in a class with the Greengold and the Malama. The sensation is of a thick, oil-stiff flesh texture with almost too much fat, but in a good way. Think sliceable, not greasy, the polar opposite of watery. We leapt at the chance to propagate it. Our mother tree now boasts a full crop of ripening fruit, despite last spring’s cool and inhospitable flowering conditions, when many cultivars failed to set fruit.(Now in July of 2025, it’s holding a monster crop, second big crop in a row! AND it has set a nice crop for the 2026 harvest). It’s exciting for us to be able to offer this superior quality avocado to the public.
Tree is vigorous and rangy, flowering is staggered from early winter into late spring, making it one of the last avocados in our collection to still have blooms. The seed is small, the skin is thick, flexible and easy to remove.
