Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun exposure and dig a hole twice the width of the root ball. Plant between March and June for best establishment, backfilling gently and staking the young tree for stability. Apply 3 inches of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water thoroughly after planting, then maintain a schedule of deep watering once weekly while allowing the soil surface to dry between applications. Mist the foliage regularly, especially indoors or during dry seasons, since avocado leaves thrive in humidity despite preferring drier roots.
