Commonly Asked Questions

What type of fertaliser do I use on by Avocado trees?

For avocado trees, it’s essential to use a fertilizer specifically formulated for their needs. Avocado trees have unique nutrient requirements, especially regarding potassium, magnesium, and micronutrients. Opt for a slow-release fertilizer to provide a steady supply of nutrients to the avocado tree over time. This helps prevent nutrient leaching and ensures the tree receives a consistent level of nutrition.

How do I maximize fruit production?

Most avocado varieties are self-pollinating, but having multiple trees or encouraging pollinators like bees can increase fruit set and yield. Harvest avocados when they are fully mature but still firm. Allow them to ripen off the tree at room temperature.
