Planting & Care

Transplant your Avocado Long Neck starter into a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant at the same depth it was growing in its pot, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during the first few months. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the trunk.

For container growing, choose a large pot with drainage holes and a quality potting mix. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, and fertilize with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer during the growing season. Protect young plants from frost and strong winds. With patience and proper care, your avocado tree can become a beautiful and productive addition to your garden.
