Description
The most popular avocado for home-growing! This 'Hass' tree is ready to grow as a striking evergreen feature in your home and on your patio.
Avocado Tree 'Hass' gives gardeners something far more exciting than an everyday houseplant. This is the much-loved avocado variety associated with rich, creamy fruits and dark, bumpy skins, now supplied as an established young plant for anyone who wants to try growing something unique.
The glossy green foliage, upright habit and neat young trunk give it a smart, exotic look, making it a handsome feature for a bright room, conservatory, greenhouse or sheltered patio through summer.
With the right conditions, mature plants can flower from late spring into early summer and may produce fruit. Warmth, bright light, humidity, space and patience all matter, especially in the UK, where avocado growing is more of a rewarding long-term project than a quick harvest.
Grow in a pot so the plant can enjoy warm outdoor conditions from late May to September, then move it back into a frost-free, bright position before temperatures fall. Water regularly in active growth, avoid cold draughts and give it room to develop.
Supplied as an established, grafted plant in a 1.5 litre pot, on a Zutano rootstock, already 65-90cm tall, ready to grow.
Top Tips
Humidity and light are important if you hope to produce any fruit. A large, humid greenhouse or warm conservatory may be your best option.
Care Information
Growing Advice for Avocado:
- Keep your Avocado tree potted, and grow in a bright, sunny position.
- The avocado dislikes soil that is either excessively wet or dry. Water freely in summer and allow the top 1cm or so to dry out before watering again.
- Water less frequently in winter and keep plants at around 13-18C.
- Feed with a general-purpose liquid houseplant feed every seven to ten days during the spring and summer and once every 2 months at other times.
Pruning Advice for Avocado:
- Plants may become lanky and may need pinching back from time to time.
- Plants which have grown too large will usually respond well to hard pruning.
