(persea)

Avocado trees are a high yeilding tree once esablished, well suited to the home garden you will eventuall have avodos to give to friends and neighbours.



Growing Avocado Trees


Avocado Trees generally require a humus rich well drained but moist soil. Warmer climates are best for most Avocado Varieties although cold climate Avocados will do well as far south as Melbourne. During the flowering period avocado trees do not like the temperature to fall below 10° at night and prefer daytime temperature below 25° once fruit has set this is not so important.



Choosing an Avocado Tree


Remember that with over 50 different vatieties of avocado trees available different cultivars are suited to different climates. 'Bacon' does well in cold climates, 'Gwen' is late maturing and is a semi dwarf variety ( but will not grow well in cooler areas). You need to consult with your local nursery to find the right variety for your area and climate.

Avocado varieties include: Bacon Avocado, Hass Avocado, Fuerte Avocado, Reed Avocdo, Wurtz Avocado, Avocado Edranol,Sherhard Avocado and others.

Growing Avocados
Avocados are an evergreen densely foliaged tree that do well in areas where the winter is mild. In the cooler climates hardier varieties such as 'bacon' can be grown. Avocados require a deep well drained soil. Avocado root systems are fairly vigorous so avocados should be planted away from foundations and paths. Although evergreen avocados will drop a lot of leaves, this combined with deep shade makes it is difficult to grow much under an avocado tree. Avocados are also susceptible to loosing branches in windy conditions, so try to provide some protection from the wind when choosing a location. Avocado Trees need full sun if they are to fruit.
