Fuerte Avocado Tree

Choose a sunny to partially shaded location with excellent drainage. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant the tree at the same depth it was growing in its container. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Keep soil evenly moist during the first growing season. Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture, keeping it away from the trunk.

Fuerte Avocado Tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment, then deeply but less frequently once established, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings. Fertilize during the growing season with an avocado or citrus fertilizer. Prune lightly to manage size and shape. Fuerte is a Type B avocado and produces best when planted near a Type A variety.
