    Hi I have my avocado plant first flowering now:

    But not sure what is the flower male or female in the morning/afternoon, hence the type A or B?

    The first photo is morning flower, second photo is afternoon flower.

    Avocados are self fertile. The flowers have male and female components, pistols and stigmas in each flower.

    Hi,
    Sorry if I misunderstood.
    It is male flower in the morning and female female afternoon, or vice versa.
    So we need Type A and Type B plant for cross pollination.
