• Very Cold Hardy Avocado Tree - Down to 27 degrees - Survives freezing temperatures
• Type B Avocado
• Harvested late fall through spring (January -April)
• Produces within 1-3 years, whereas a seedling will take 10-15 years to produce
• Planting a young Grafted tree is smarter than planting a pit, as you'll have to wait at least fifteen years for the pit to produce a harvest -- and even then, pit-grown avocados may not excite your taste buds.
• If the plant doesn't fit the box the tips will be trimmed off. Which is ok, and will cause the tree to branch out.
