The Go-To Avocado Tree for Cold Climates

Why Cold Hardy Avocado Trees?

Home-grown avocados, no matter where you live. With the Cold Hardy Avocado Tree, it's possible. This strong tree withstands frigid temperatures as low as 20 degrees, living up to its name.

Simply plant your Avocado Tree in a container and bring it inside during the winter months - it will continue to grow. You’ll get an abundant yield of fruit, year after year, and even faster than you would with seed-grown varieties. Basically, the Cold Hardy Avocado's fast growth means you're going to enjoy your avocados in at least three years instead of the 10 years or more it takes to grow fruit from seedlings.

Why FastGrowingTrees.com is Better

-Our Cold Hardy Avocado Tree is a proven performer.

-We've hand-picked the best, healthiest varieties to ship to your door.

-Because they've been grafted (with rootstock combined from a hardy, disease-resistant tree, and a mature tree) and grown in our greenhouse with care, they're happy and healthy from day one to your door.

-With our largest Cold Hardy Avocado Trees, you may get fruit as soon as the first year...perfect for those who want to harvest their home-grown avocados as soon as possible!

-We carry four varieties of the Cold Hardy Avocado: the Mexicola, the Brogdon, the Oro Negro, and the Bacon. You will receive one of the four when you order, but rest assured that each variety delivers the rich, buttery flavor and carefree, hardy growth that make the Cold Hardy Avocado famous.

Superior flavor from a superfood. Is there anything better? The texture and taste of store-bought simply can't compare. Whether you're making homemade guacamole or the ever-popular avocado toast, the bold flavor is amazing. And the second-to-none taste isn't the only benefit you'll reap because they're loaded with vitamins A, B6, C, E.

So, the Cold Hardy Avocado Tree is one of the most versatile trees on the market. For a larger tree, plant it outdoors and watch it soar to heights of 15 to 20 feet. Or, for a shorter tree, plant in a container and you can limit growth to between 5 and 7 feet in height. Many growers find this method optimal for moving the tree between indoors and out.

Our larger sizes commonly bear fruit their very first year. And your tree will be more forgiving and easier to grow indoors or out. But demand from new orchards and home growers has put this tree in short supply. We recommend that you order yours today while larger sizes are still available!

1. Planting: The Cold Hardy Avocado is specially adapted to our cooler climates. They will grow in partial shade but prefer full sun when possible. And the skin of the fruit is paper-thin, and purple-black in color - they have high-quality flesh with a large amount of oil and are hardy to about 20-degrees once established.

Water the tree well before planting, then dig a hole larger than the pot you purchased it in and 1 to 2 inches deeper. Remove the tree from the pot and separate the roots, careful to avoid breakage. Water the tree and fill in the dirt as you water. Cover the new soil with mulch to retain moisture and keep weeds away.

If planting in a container, use a cactus or citrus soil mix that is well-draining in a container that is slightly larger than the current one.

Note: This product grows best in well-draining soil. When you receive your plant, you may notice small, white beads or rocks in the soil - this medium is added to increase drainage and keep your plant happy and healthy!

2. Watering: Cold Hardy Avocado Trees may not need to be watered during the winter season or rainy months, but watch for extended mid-winter dry spells. Watch soil moisture carefully at the end of the irrigating season. Make sure the soil has dried out before winter arrives.

3. Fertilizing: Commence feeding young trees after one year of growth by using a balanced fertilizer four times yearly. Unusual temperature changes can cause plants to drop leaves. Leaf drop is natural and the plant will typically replace its foliage during its natural growing season.

4. Pruning: Cold Hardy Avocados need little to no training. You may wish to trim the tree’s skirts to deter small critters, but other than that, this tree is never pruned.

5. Pollination: Avocado Trees are self-fertile, so you don't have to have another Avocado Tree around for it to bear fruit. If it blooms indoors, you might want to shake it a bit to spread the pollen, since you will have no bees or wind to do it for you. However, as with all fruit trees, your Avocados will each produce more fruit with two trees.

Estimated Shipping Time: Most orders ship immediately. As noted on the website, some items are seasonal, and may only ship in spring or fall. Once your order is shipped, you'll receive an email with a tracking number.

Excellent Specimen of Bacon Avocado Received

Our cold hardy avocado (the Bacon variety) arrived well packaged, healthy, and with lots of leaves. A few of the lower leaves do appear to have been a little damaged (not from shopping though) but the majority of the plant is in great condition. It was a pleasant surprise too that the plant was on the taller side of the estimated height for what we purchased. So far so good!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Christina! Thanks so much for the update! We’re happy your avocado tree arrived healthy and strong. Slight leaf imperfections can sometimes happen, but it sounds like the tree overall is doing really well. We’re here if you ever need support or have any care questions!

Cold Hardy Avocado

Both trees arrived well. Transplanted both according to enclosure’s instructions. One began to grow and thrive and continues to do so. The other began loosing its leaves and ceased to thrive. I contacted the help desk at FGT and asked for help and clarification as to how and why this might be happening. I received a response to do a nail scratch test near the base to confirm if the tree was viable or not. I performed the scratch test and the tree appeared to still be alive. I have since replanted the tree and was told by FGT that this occasionally happens to the leaves. The tree has since begun to recover and new growth along with spring budding has begun. I appreciate the advice given and the information provided to help me restore my tree back to normal. Even though the second tree has grown taller and is now fuller, the tree in question has begun to heal and remain viable. Thanks!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello David! We really appreciate you reaching out and giving your tree the extra attention it needed. It's wonderful to hear that it’s now showing signs of new growth and recovering well. Thank you for your persistence and for trusting us to help you through the process!
