Avocado A-Type vs B-Type Flowers: Pollination Guide

Avocado flowers open twice, functioning as female during one opening and male during another. Cultivars are grouped into A and B flowering types based on this timing.

Do you need both types?

Many avocado trees can set fruit alone, but overlapping A- and B-type flowering can improve pollination opportunities in some settings. Temperature can shift the textbook flowering schedule.
