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 ‘Tonnage’ avocado has a smooth, creamy texture with a mild, nutty flavor and medium-to-high oil content. Its flesh is low in fiber, making it ideal for slicing, mashing, or spreading. The taste is balanced and satisfying—rich enough for culinary applications but light enough for everyday fresh eating.
