The avocado tree is an evergreen tropical or subtropical tree that produces leathery-skinned fruit that is generally eaten fresh by itself or used raw in various dishes.
This has one of the highest fat percentages of all fruits, though they are healthy fats. It also offers fiber, folate, potassium, Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
For best flowering and fruit production, choose a location that has full sun. It can tolerate partial shade if needed.
Unlike many other fruit trees, the avocado will not mature while still on the tree. They should be removed once they have reached full size and allowed to ripen for a week or two.
While starting the seeds can be a fun experiment, the resulting plant is not likely to be the same as its parent. If you are trying to keep the characteristics of the specific variety, propagate through grafting.

Avocados are very fussy about their soil conditions and will not tolerate wet feet or heavy soils, it is essential to prepare the ground for an avocado well before planting. Young trees are susceptible to sunburn and damage from frost so a small shelter while they establish is a very good idea.
