growing avocados in Florida

Avocados come from the tropics and subtropics, so make sure to choose a cold-tolerant variety if you are located in a cooler area of Brevard County.

Light Requirements: full sun

Soil Requirements: Tolerates a wide range of soils but must be well-draining.

Water Requirements: Do not use well water containing 2,200 or more parts per million (ppm) salt.

Fertilize: Apply 1/2 pound (1 cup) per foot of tree height of Sunniland Citrus Fertilizer in March and September.

Avocado Type: Avocado trees produce heavier crops when an ‘A’ and a ‘B’ type are planted in close proximity.
