| Botanical Name | Persea americana 'Brazos Belle' |
| Description | 'Brazos Belle' (formerly known as 'Wilma') is celebrated for its remarkable cold hardiness and high-quality fruit. It is a Mexican-style avocado that can withstand temperatures as low as 15-18°F once established, making it one of the safest bets for the Willis area. The fruit has a striking purple-black skin and a rich, nutty flesh that is excellent for guacamole or fresh eating. This variety is a Type B bloomer and a vigorous grower. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Partial Shade |
| Height x Width | 20-25 feet tall x 15-20 feet wide |
| Water | Requires excellent drainage and regular watering while establishing. To prevent root rot in Houston’s heavy soil, plant on a mound or in a raised area. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant but fruits best with consistent moisture. |
| Zones | 8b - 11 |
| Chill Hours | Low (approx. 150 hours) |
| Harvest Time | August to October |
| Deer Resistance | Low |
