| Description | A Guatemalan avocado, meaning bigger fruit that takes longer to ripen. It is worth the wait for the delicious fruit, with very smooth, rich, buttery, nutty flesh. One of the smaller avocado trees, displaying a slightly weeping habit. Adapted to tropical regions, it is less hardy and prefers more water than Mexican varieties. Trees start fruiting at 6 to 7 years old. Evergreen. |

| Care Instructions | Provide unamended, well-drained soil, and a wind and frost-sheltered site. Apply a thick layer of mulch to conserve moisture, avoiding the trunk. Water deeply and regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Periodic leaf drop is normal; allow to remain as mulch. Apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring after flowering. |
