🌞 Growing & Care Guide for Avocado Tree (Common Names: Avocado, Alligator Pear, Butter Fruit)

☀️ Sunlight & Soil

  • Plant avocado trees outdoors in spring for best establishment.

  • Full sun exposure (at least 8 hours daily) is ideal; partial shade tolerated.

  • Soil should be loamy, sandy, well-drained, pH 5–7; avoid alkaline soils.

  • Dig a hole wider than the root system; avoid disturbing roots.

  • Protect from high winds; consider a location with natural windbreaks.

💧 Watering

  • Provide deep, infrequent watering; allow soil to dry between waterings.

  • Young trees require more frequent watering; mature trees ~2 inches/week.

  • Mulching helps retain moisture and protect shallow roots; keep mulch 6 inches from trunk.

🌱 Fertilization

  • Fertilize late winter to early spring, continuing until fall.

  • Use avocado- or citrus-specific fertilizers for best results.

✂️ Pruning

  • Start pruning seedlings at 6 inches tall; remove top leaves.

  • Yearly pruning for mature trees; remove dead or V-shaped branches, thin dense areas.

  • Avoid removing more than one-third of each branch.

🍂 Mulching

  • Mulch around the base to retain moisture, moderate soil temperature, and protect roots.

🐛 Pest & Disease Control

  • Common pests: mites, caterpillars, borers, lace bugs, thrips.

  • Common diseases: root rot, fruit rot, sun blotch, cankers.

  • Monitor regularly; prompt action prevents serious damage.

🌱 Support for Young Plants

  • Young trees benefit from stakes or supports to protect from wind.

  • Ensure protection from frost with blankets or tarps in colder areas.

🍎 Harvesting

  • Avocados do not ripen on the tree; pick when mature.

  • Let fruits ripen indoors; avoid harvesting all at once to extend the season.

  • Trees grown from nursery saplings: 3–4 years to fruit; seed-grown: 5–13 years.

🍃 Thinning

  • Thin fruits to reduce branch stress and improve fruit size and quality.

❄️ Winter Protection

  • Protect from frost using burlap wraps, extra soil around the base, or move potted trees indoors.

  • Young trees are especially frost-sensitive; overwinter carefully.
