Key Features

Mid-season harvest - extends picking time when paired with other varieties

Fruit Description
Edranol produces medium-large pear-shaped fruit with a dark green, slightly textured skin. The flesh is smooth, rich, creamy, and known for its balanced flavour - less oily than Hass, but more buttery than Fuerte.
Contains a medium seed with a high flesh-to-seed ratio, making it a great choice for slicing, salads, guacamole and fresh eating.
Harvest Time
Main harvest: July to September
Works well in Toowoomba when paired with early or late fruiting varieties such as Fuerte, Hass, Reed, or Bacon to create a near year-round supply.
Pollination
Flower Type: Type B
Best fruit set occurs when planted alongside a Type A avocado such as Hass, Pinkerton, Wurtz (Dwarf), or Reed.
Cross-pollination improves yield in the Toowoomba climate, especially during cooler flowering periods.
Growth Habit
Edranol is a vigorous, upright tree capable of reaching 6-8 metres in ideal conditions. It responds well to pruning, allowing you to maintain a manageable height for home harvesting.
Its strong branching structure makes it well adapted to the breezy, elevated areas of the Toowoomba Range.
Ideal Growing Conditions
Climate: Thrives in Toowoomba’s warm summers and tolerates the region’s cooler winter nights. Young trees benefit from frost protection for their first 1-2 years.
Sunlight: Full sun - ensure at least 6-8 hours daily.
Soil: Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Raised beds or mounded planting help prevent waterlogging on heavier Darling Downs soils.
Watering: Deep, consistent watering is ideal, particularly during flowering, fruit set and hot summer periods.
Frost: Once established, Edranol has moderate frost tolerance for Toowoomba. Protect young trees with covers or frost cloth during cold snaps.
Planting & Care
Select a sunny, sheltered spot with good airflow.
Improve drainage using compost, gypsum or raised mounds if planting in heavier clay areas.
Mulch generously to maintain soil moisture and moderate Toowoomba’s temperature swings.
Prune lightly to shape and control height for easy harvesting.
Feed with a balanced, nitrogen-lean fertiliser formulated for avocados or citrus.
Avoid root disturbance - avocados prefer gentle handling and minimal root disruption.
