Cold Hardy Avocado

The Cold Hardy Avocado is a special form of Avocado that will grow well in areas that are too cold for regular avocado trees. This special tree opens up large areas of the country to the ease and pleasure of growing your own avocados right in your garden without needing to use a container. It is a sturdy, easily-grown tree that makes an attractive and useful addition to your garden. Trees grown in the garden are much easier to care for and much more productive than container-grown trees.

• The most cold-resistant avocado available
• Large fruit has purple skin when ready to harvest
• Ripen off the tree indoors before eating
• Vigorous tree carrying a heavy crop
• Good choice for a potted tree

Plant your Cold Hardy Avocado in a sunny, sheltered spot. It grows rapidly in ordinary, well-drained soil, and benefits from added organic materials, mulch and fertilizer. Leave fruit on the tree until you are ready to eat it, and then ripen it indoors for a few days. Pests and diseases are rarely problems. In areas too cold for any avocado to survive the winter outdoors, this tree is also a good choice for a container, since it can be left outside much longer than other varieties can, reducing the extra work involved in growing a tree in a container.
