Description

Persea americana ‘Brazos Belle’ is a cold-hardy avocado cultivar selected in Texas for its improved tolerance to lower winter temperatures compared to most avocados, making it a notable option for growers along the Gulf Coast and parts of the southern United States. Originating from breeding and selection efforts focused on Mexican-type avocados, ‘Brazos Belle’ is valued for its ability to withstand brief cold snaps while still producing medium-sized, pear-shaped fruit with smooth green skin and rich, buttery flesh. The tree exhibits vigorous growth and an attractive evergreen canopy, lending both ornamental and edible appeal in landscapes and home orchards. As interest in locally grown avocados expanded beyond traditional subtropical regions, ‘Brazos Belle’ gained recognition for helping push the boundaries of where avocados can be successfully cultivated, particularly in Texas and similar climates.

Exceptionally cold-hardy Mexican-type avocado, surviving brief temps down to 10–15 °F in USDA Zone 8b
Slender, columnar growth habit ideal for space-limited or vertical plantings
Attractive late‑summer fruit: medium‑large size, purple‑black skin, creamy buttery texture, and nutty‑rich flavor
