Fruit
Sharwil
A tier
Sharwil is a green-skinned avocado important in Hawaii and other subtropical districts—medium pear-shaped fruit, rich high-oil flesh, and excellent flavour with a relatively small seed. Skin stays green and is medium-thick; fruit quality rivals or exceeds Hass for many local devotees. Cold sensitivity shaped where it can be grown and shipped. Flagship local avocado in Hawaiian markets; occasional specialty exports when protocols allow. Mash and slice like any premium green type. Not a commodity global clone at Hass scale, but a regional quality leader.
