Zutano is a cold-hardy and vigorous avocado rootstock widely used in avocado orchards. Known for its tolerance to colder temperatures, it is often used in regions with cooler climates. While Zutano has moderate resistance to Phytophthora root rot, it is favored for its strong adaptability and vigorous growth. Zutano rootstock supports high fruit yields and is compatible with many commercial avocado varieties, making it a versatile option for growers looking to maximize orchard productivity in cooler growing areas.
