What is the difference between Type A and Type B avocados?


Avocados have very unique flowers. Rather than having separate male and female flowers like some plants, or both male and female anatomy available to interact within the same blossom as others do – avocado flowers essentially change sexes! Type A avocados bloom with their female reproductive parts available first, and do so in the morning. Type B avocado flowers also open in the morning, but in their male phase. Then, each of them pull a switcheroo – and the flowers open as the opposite sex the following day in the afternoon. 

Because avocado flowers take turns exposing their male and female parts, it is more difficult for a single tree to pollinate itself and thus bear fruit. Again, it does happen… but to a lesser extent than when an opposite Type A or


Type B is around, wagging their complimentary sex parts around. That is why in nearly all commercial avocado ranches, you’ll find multiple avocado varieties grown nearby to increase cross-pollination. The most common partnership is Hass and Fuerte.

There is a male and female symbol that is assigned to each part of the day. The type A and B avocados show that there male and female flowers are both open at the same time of day.
