Avocado (Persea americana) 6 inch organic rooted sapling

The avocado tree is native to the American continents, although the plant has been cultivated for thousands of years across the globe. The Persea americana USDA hardiness zone is 9 and above. The optimal range for growing and fruiting an avocado tree is about 50 to 85 degrees. The plant can possibly withstand relatively short intervals of colder and hotter temperatures. Bees are the primary pollinators of the avocado plant, and the plant can also be pollinated by butterflies and moths. The ancient wonder that is the avocado plant can also be pollinated by the wind. A garden with diverse flora and fauna will invite the priceless pollinators to stay around for even another kind of tapa or two. The delicate avocado flower may first appear to be a kind of wallflower but then close up becomes a favorite dinner. Avocado plants can grow several feet each year, reaching fifty feet and sometimes even higher. The plant can start producing fruit in about 5 years, and it can keep producing fruit even when pruned back to 10 feet or less. The plant requires about 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily to thrive and produce its avocado fruit. The plant prefers well-watered as well as well-drained soil, yet it can also survive periods of droughts. This offer is $50 for one 6 inch organic rooted sapling. Free shipping.
