Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with good drainage and frost protection, spacing trees 10–15 feet apart or planting in large containers with quality drainage. Water deeply but allow the soil to dry between sessions, adjusting frequency for container plants during hot months. Feed with balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 6–8 weeks throughout spring and early fall, prioritizing nitrogen and trace minerals like zinc. Prune in early spring to enhance shape and airflow, removing dead wood and crossing branches. For optimal fruit production, plant a Type B avocado variety nearby to act as a compatible pollinator.
