Care
Planting & Growing
Provide unamended, well-drained soil, and a wind-sheltered site. Apply a thick layer of mulch to conserve moisture, avoiding the trunk. Water deeply and regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Periodic leaf drop is normal; allow to remain as mulch. Apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring after flowering.
Avocado trees love full sunlight. Plant in a spot that gets at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. The more sunlight, the healthier the tree will be.
Avocados require well-draining soil. If the soil doesn’t drain well, it can cause root rot. Sandy loam or a mix designed for fruit trees is ideal.
The Avocado Fuerte tree needs regular watering, but it’s important not to overwater it. Water the tree deeply when the It’s better to water slowly and deeply to encourage deep root growth. Avoid shallow watering, as this can lead to weak roots and surface-level moisture that dries up quickly.

Depending on the weather and the age of the tree, you may need to water once or twice a week.
