About This

• Physical Characteristics: This evergreen tree typically features glossy, elliptical leaves and a symmetrical, upright form. Mature trees can reach 20 to 30 feet in height when planted in the ground, or remain smaller when container-grown and pruned regularly.
• Light Requirements: Avocado trees grow best in full sun, requiring at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Choose a bright, open location that receives unobstructed light throughout the day to encourage vigorous growth and productive fruiting.
• Watering Needs: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. In hotter weather, more frequent watering may be necessary, especially for container-grown trees that dry out faster.
• Soil Preferences: Avocados prefer well-draining, loose soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Sandy loam is ideal, but they can adapt to various soil types as long as drainage is adequate. Avoid areas prone to standing water.
• Temperature Tolerance: Best suited for USDA Zones 9–11, avocado trees flourish in warm, subtropical climates. They are sensitive to frost and cold temperatures, so provide protection or move indoors during colder months in marginal zones.
• Flavor Profile: The ‘Bacon’ avocado offers a mild, buttery taste with a subtle nutty undertone and a lighter texture than more oily varieties. Its smooth, pale green flesh is easy to slice and ideal for fresh applications like salads, toast, or sandwiches. The flavor is clean and delicate, appealing to those who prefer a less rich avocado experience.
