Premium Grafted Avocado Trees for Sale
What Makes Grafted Avocado Trees So Special?
Grafted avocado trees are game-changers because they give you faster fruit, better quality, and zero guesswork. While seed-grown trees take 5-10 years to produce fruit (if they ever do), grafted trees start producing in just 2-3 years. You get guaranteed Hass flavor and size every time, no surprises.
The secret? They combine a proven fruit variety with strong, disease-resistant roots specifically chosen for your growing conditions. Plus, they're more compact and manageable for small spaces.
Bottom line: Grafted trees save you years of waiting and deliver the exact avocados you want, faster and more reliably. That's what makes them worth it.
Why Choose Grafted Avocado Trees?
Nobody wants to wait a decade just to find out their avocado tree produces terrible fruit. Grafted trees are perfect if you're new to gardening, dealing with a tiny backyard, or just want avocados that actually taste good. They work in containers, weird soil, and even tricky climates. You're basically getting a head start instead of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best.
General Care for Avocado Trees
To grow healthy avocado trees, start with well-draining soil and aim for a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. These trees don’t like “wet feet,” so avoid soggy spots that can cause root rot. Most avocado varieties need full sun to produce well, though a few can handle some light shade.
Water deeply but let the soil dry a bit between waterings, especially once your tree is established. Young trees like more consistent moisture while they settle in. A layer of mulch around the base (but not touching the trunk) helps keep roots cool, moist, and happy.
Avocado Trees for Every Need
Hass Avocado Varieties
If you're after the classic avocado flavor. Our Hass Avocado Trees includes the rich, nutty, dark-skinned avocados that everyone knows and loves. These trees are consistent producers with long harvest windows. They're self-fertile, but if you plant another variety nearby, you’ll likely get even more fruit.
Cold Hardy Options
Think you can’t grow avocados in a chilly area? Our Cold Hardy varieties can handle drops to 15-20°F, so even growers in cooler zones can enjoy homegrown avocados. Despite their toughness, they still deliver great flavor and creamy texture, no compromise.
Dwarf Avocado Trees
Dwarf Avocados are perfect for container growing, small yards, or anyone wanting manageable tree size without sacrificing fruit production. These compact varieties typically reach 6-8 feet tall and are ideal for trees in pots on patios, balconies, or greenhouse cultivation.
Planting Tips for Happy, Healthy Trees
Select a planting location protected from strong winds, as avocado trees have shallow root systems. Dig holes twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper, ensuring the graft union remains above soil level. Backfill with native soil mixed with compost for improved drainage and nutrition.
Space trees according to their mature size - typically 15-20 feet apart for standard varieties and 8-10 feet for dwarf types. This allows adequate air circulation and prevents overcrowding as trees mature.
Feeding Your Avocado Tree the Right Way
Avocado trees are picky eaters with specific nutritional requirements. Use a fertilizer made for avocados, like our 8-3-9 blend, apply in early spring and mid-summer. Young trees need monthly feeding during growing season, mature trees need less. Watch for yellowing leaves or poor fruit set (classic hunger signs). Avocados hate salt buildup, so stick with low-salt fertilizers and keep that drainage good to avoid root damage.
How and When to Harvest Avocados
Avocado varieties produce fruit that ripens off the tree. Harvest when fruit reaches mature size but stays firm, then let them ripen indoors in 3-7 days. With different varieties having different harvest seasons, you can enjoy fresh avocados nearly year-round with smart planning.
Keeping Your Trees Healthy
Avocado trees are naturally resilient, but common issues like aphids, scale, and root rot can appear, especially with overwatering. Inspect regularly so you can treat problems early.
Proper spacing, airflow, and avoiding overhead watering help keep fungal diseases at bay. Keep the area clean, remove fallen leaves and fruit to discourage pests and rot.
Choosing the Right Tree for Your Climate
While avocados love Mediterranean climates, our 47 varieties come from growing regions worldwide. Consider your local climate when choosing, cold hardiness, heat tolerance, and humidity matter. Whether you're coastal, inland, or dealing with challenging climates, we've got trees that'll thrive in your specific conditions.
