Zutano is not a well-known avocado variety but it is one of our favourites. It is a vigorous grower and makes a strong tree that can withstand the elements. It is self pollinating but make a good pollinator for variety Hass. It is frost hardy and ripens in winter.

It has very good frost tolerance, similar to bacon and will grow in moderately frosty areas such as the Riverland and Adelaide Hills.

It is a nice fruit, better than Bacon, but not as good as Hass or Reed. The fruit ripens in winter from June to September which is the opposite season to the spring/summer varieties Hass and Reed. If planted with Hass or Reed, Zutano can contribute to year-round fruit production. It is self-pollinating but makes a good pollinator for Hass which sometimes needs the assistance of outside pollen to set a good crop. Zutano can be pollinated by Hass.
