• Grafted for Faster Fruiting: Our trees are grafted, meaning they are propagated from mature, fruit-producing Nabal avocado trees. This process significantly reduces the time it takes for your tree to start bearing fruit, usually within 3-5 years.
• Attractive Evergreen Foliage: Beyond its fruit, the Nabal avocado tree boasts lush, dark green foliage year-round, adding a beautiful, subtropical touch to your garden or patio. It provides excellent shade and visual interest.

• Potential for Cross-Pollination: As a ‘B’ type flower, the Nabal avocado can act as a pollinator for ‘A’ type varieties, potentially increasing the fruit set on both trees if planted together. This enhances overall productivity in your orchard.
• Educational and Rewarding: Nurturing an avocado tree from a young plant to a fruit-bearing specimen is an incredibly rewarding experience, offering a hands-on lesson in botany and sustainable living. Understanding avocado tree care becomes a fulfilling hobby.
• Health Benefits: Fresh avocados are packed with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals, contributing to a balanced diet. Having a constant supply means easy access to these nutritional powerhouses.

Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper avocado tree care is crucial for a healthy and productive Nabal avocado tree. These trees thrive in specific conditions that mimic their native subtropical environment. When it comes to sunlight, Nabal avocado trees require full sun exposure, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a location in your garden that receives ample sun throughout the day, ideally with some protection from harsh afternoon sun in extremely hot climates. For container-grown trees, place them in a bright, sunny spot, rotating occasionally for even growth.

Watering is a critical aspect of growing avocado at home. Avocado trees prefer consistently moist, but not waterlogged, soil. Water deeply when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Young trees, especially those recently planted, will need more frequent watering. Ensure excellent drainage, as avocados are highly susceptible to root rot in standing water. A good quality, well-draining potting mix for container plants, or sandy loam soil for in-ground planting, is ideal. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage.

Nabal avocado trees are generally suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9-11, where temperatures rarely drop below freezing. If you live in a colder climate, consider growing your tree in a large container that can be moved indoors during winter. Protect young trees from frost with covers or blankets if temperatures are expected to dip. Fertilize your Nabal avocado tree with a balanced citrus or avocado fertilizer, following package instructions, typically 3-4 times a year during the growing season. Watch out for common pests like avocado lace bugs or mites, and treat with organic insecticidal soaps if necessary. Pruning should be done to maintain shape and encourage fruit production, removing dead or crossing branches.

Size & Details

This Nabal avocado tree is a live, grafted specimen, carefully cultivated to ensure genetic purity and robust growth. Each tree stands approximately 1 to 2 feet tall from the base of the root system to the top of the foliage, offering a substantial young plant ready for transplanting. It is shipped securely in a 6-inch nursery pot, providing a healthy root ball for a smooth transition to your garden or a larger container. Nabal avocado trees are known for their moderate to fast growth rate, typically reaching mature heights of 15-25 feet in optimal conditions, though they can be kept smaller with regular pruning. Expect fruit production to begin within 3-5 years from planting, with peak maturity and higher yields as the tree ages. The fruit itself is round, medium-sized, weighing about 8-16 ounces, and features a rich, nutty flavor. This specific Nabal avocado variety is a ‘B’ type flower, which can be beneficial for cross-pollination with ‘A’ type avocado trees to maximize fruit set.
