Dwarf Avocado - Wurtz (A) (Grafted) 8/10 HappyEarth's Edible FruitsUpdate: 4761 days 14hrs Comments: - Hard trees to get established - starting to do well now after a couple of years in the ground. Literally planted by placing on top of the soil and mounding around it with a mixture of potting mix and compost. Also, are growing temporary shade trees around it to provide partial shade for the young avocado in its first few years. I feel this has made a big difference to the success of growing avocados after a couple of early failures. Good Luck!
