Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and dig a planting hole twice the width of the root ball. Position the tree so the top of the root ball sits slightly above ground level, then backfill with excavated soil. Water deeply after planting and maintain consistent moisture as the roots establish. Apply balanced avocado fertilizer during the growing season, and prune lightly to remove dead wood and shape the canopy. For best results and larger crops, plant another avocado variety within 100 feet as a pollinator companion.
