Note: Avocado varieties are sometime referred to as being either ‘A’ type flowerers or ‘B’ type flowerers.
The avocado flower has a period when it opens as a female, and a period when the same flower opens as a male. The ‘A’ type flowerer opens as a female on the first morning, closes and opens as a male the next afternoon. The ‘B’ type flowerer has the opposite pattern. Pollination is helped in cooler areas if you have avocados from both group A and B varieties.
