Malama is a Guatemalan type avocado that was developed by the University of Hawaii and selected in 1981.
It is considered a very high quality fruit in its native state with a rich nutty flavor.
The fruit turn purple, are medium-sized and are pyriform shaped. Our Malama has been fruiting for enough time now that we've been able to sample enough fruit to say its an outstanding avocado with great flavor and oil content.
The tree produces B type flowers and is a Fall season fruit in Hawaii and Florida also. It has been a very slow grower for us, almost a dwarf-like tree, but healthy and flowers each year.
Race: Guatemalan.
Flower type: B
Country: Hawaii - USA
