Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Requires full sun—at least 6–8 hours of direct light daily. For best fruiting, plant in an open, unobstructed location with ample airflow and warmth.

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy during establishment. Once established, avocados are moderately drought-tolerant, but steady watering during dry spells encourages better fruit set.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining, sandy-loam soil. Will tolerate native Florida soils as long as they’re not waterlogged. Avoid heavy clay or low spots with standing water.

• Fertilizer: Feed every 6–8 weeks in spring and summer with a citrus or fruit tree fertilizer rich in nitrogen and micronutrients. Avoid overfeeding in fall or winter.

• Growth Habit: Upright and spreading. In a 7-gallon pot, the tree is typically 3–5 feet tall with strong central growth and a healthy root system, ideal for transplanting or patio placement.

• Temperature: Ideal for USDA Zones 10–11. Loves South Florida’s subtropical warmth. Protect young trees from cold snaps below 40°F until well established.

• Maintenance: Low. Prune lightly to shape and manage height. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weeds.

Note: Fruit production typically begins 2–4 years after planting, depending on variety and care. For best yields, plant with another compatible avocado variety nearby for cross-pollination.
