Avocados are nutrient-dense fruits that can be eaten in many ways. However, they need to be properly cared for in order to fully enjoy them. This blog will provide guidance on how to keep your avocado tree healthy and productive so you'll always have fresh avocados available!
How to Plant an Avocado Tree
The avocado tree may be planted in zones 9-11. You will need a pot or container that is at least 18 inches wide and a depth of 24 inches. You'll also need to fill it with soil and mix in organic fertilizer, such as manure, compost, or any other rich organic material available. Make sure the soil is well moistened before planting your tree. Be sure to water every day the first week to ensure the soil is completely soaked.
How to Grow an Avocado Tree
Avocados need a lot of care and maintenance in order to have them available. Avocado trees are easy to grow, but it's important that they're constantly monitored and cared for properly.
If you're planting your avocado tree, make sure the container or pot is at least 18 inches wide and 24 inches deep. You'll also want to fill the container with soil mixed with organic fertilizer before planting your tree. After you've planted it, water the plant every day for the first week so that the soil is completely moistened.
After the first week, continue watering your avocado tree twice a week until it matures. Once it has matured, cut back to watering once a week in warmer areas and once every two weeks in colder areas.
It's important to keep in mind that avocado trees thrive when they're kept in warm, sunny conditions, but do not tolerate frost well. It's best to grow your tree indoors if you live in an area with a lot of rain and/or cold weather.
You'll need to fertilize your avocado tree at least once every month. For an indoor tree, you can fertilize more often. Be sure to spread the fertilizer all around the base of your avocado tree so it's evenly distributed.
To help support the healthy production of flowers for pollination, you'll need to prune your avocado buds in order to encourage fruit-bearing growth. You can do this by removing leaves and flower buds once the tree has reached maturity. This will promote the growth of "fruitsets" on your avocado tree that you can harvest later on in the summer!
How to Harvest an Avocado Tree
Avocados are ready to be harvested once the fruit has changed to a dark green color. However, there are other ways you can tell that your avocado is ready for harvesting. The inside of the skin will turn from green to brown and the stem will snap off easily. Avocados should be stored at room temperature for up to three days and then refrigerated or frozen.
What does Avocado Taste Like
Avocados taste sweet and can be eaten in many different ways. A ripe avocado has a soft, greenish-brown flesh that is good on its own, or mashed up to make sauces & dips.
How to Store Avocado
Since avocados can be kept for up to 3 days at room temperature before being put in the refrigerator, it is important to know how to store them.
It is important to keep your avocado as close as possible to the ripening process. If you are going to eat your avocado within 2-3 days of picking, it is best to place it on a countertop or shelf at room temperature. If you are not going to eat your avocado within this time frame, then you will need to put it in the refrigerator.
