Grafted avocado trees fruit years earlier than seedlings — and Flying Dragon Nursery offers one of New Zealand's widest selections. From the ever-popular Hass to rare varieties you won't find at garden centres, all our trees are grafted from proven mother trees for reliable fruit production. Grown in Kerikeri's ideal subtropical climate, our avocados arrive healthy and ready to establish in your garden.

Dwarf avocado trees

Rincon is New Zealand's only true dwarf avocado, and it is exclusive to Flying Dragon Nursery. For other compact trees, choose the semi-dwarf Esther, Pinkerton or Frazer. Our other avocados grow into full-sized trees.

Avocados for cooler areas

Bacon, Zutano, Mexicola, Mexicola Grande and Edranol are our cold-hardy picks, and Noel handles both cold and wind. Our Mexicola Grande is the tree long known by that name in New Zealand, not the American variety.

A and B flowering types

Avocado flowers follow an A or B pattern. Planting an A type such as Hass alongside a B type such as Bacon, Sharwil, Hashimoto or Frazer can improve pollination.

NZ-bred and Flying Dragon varieties

Hopkins, McEldowney, Ivan and Noel were developed in New Zealand. Ruakaka is our own release, and Onyx is a chance seedling selected here.

Avocados are sent one tree per box, usually in PB10 bags at around 1 m tall. Read our avocado care essentials and avocado tree FAQs.
