Avocado “Brogdon” has a Type B flower. While avocado trees have both male and female organs in one flower, the opening cycle varies.
Type A will open the female part in the morning for 2-3 hrs.and the male pollen in the afternoon of the next day. (Ref: UofCavo)
Type B will do the opposite.
Fertilization of avocados is more likely if two trees Type A & B of similar season are in proximity.
I chose “Brogdon” to Pollinate my “Day”. Purchased at the same time.
