UC Riverside Releases A New Avocado Variety (the Luna UCR™ - one of Time's 2023 Best Inventions)

A new avocado variety that’s the result of more than a half-century tree breeding by University of California, Riverside, horticulturists has been released to commercial growers worldwide. It’s called the Luna UCR™ and offers consumers great flavor, a rind that turns a tell-tale black when ripe, and high postharvest quality. Growers, meanwhile, benefit from a smaller tree size, allowing denser plantings for more efficient and safer harvesting, minimal pruning, and potentially higher yields. Here, UCR agricultural scientists describe their quest for a better avocado.
