Market price from $88.99 to $199.99
Persea americana is a majestic, evergreen tree popularly known as the Avocado. Native to south-central Mexico, this leafy giant can stretch up to a surprising 20 meters (66 feet) tall, presenting a broad, verdant canopy of glossy, ovate leaves. The avocado tree is an architectural marvel of nature that astonishes with its luxuriant foliage and distinctive, greenish-yellow flowers. These flowers mature into the amazing fruits we all adore - avocados. Renowned for their creamy texture and nutritional punch, avocados encase their delightful goodness in a rough, leathery skin. This tree thrives in fertile, well-drained soils, bathing in full sunlight, offering its lush shade, and space for its extensive roots. Exhibiting resilience against heat, the Avocado loves mild climates best and may take a few years to yield fruit. Despite its frost sensitivity, it only requires moderate watering and rewards patient growers with a bountiful harvest, making it a central attraction in edible garden landscapes.
