Fuerte Avocado Trees are prized for their excellent fruit quality, making them a popular choice among avocado enthusiasts. Known for their medium-thin skinned green fruit, these trees produce avocados weighing between 10–12 oz. With proper care and attention, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious avocados from your own Fuerte Avocado Tree. This guide provides detailed information on how to grow and care for Fuerte Avocado Trees in USDA Zones 9–10.

Due to hot summer temperatures, we have temporarily suspended tree shipments to the states of NM, TX, OK, NV and AZ.  Shipping to these states will resume in the fall once temperatures subside to levels consistent with safe healthy tree shipment. Shipments to other states will require expedited shipping during the summer months. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the protection of your order.

Characteristics of Fuerte Avocado Trees:

  • Fruit Quality: Fuerte Avocado Trees are renowned for their excellent fruit quality, producing green avocados with medium-thin skin. The fruit typically weighs between 10–12 oz.
  • Tree Size: Fuerte Avocado Trees are large spreading trees, with mature specimens reaching heights of 25–35 feet. Their expansive canopy provides ample shade and makes them an attractive addition to any landscape.
  • Ripening Period: Fuerte avocados ripen from November to June, providing a long harvest season to enjoy fresh avocados.
  • Frost Tolerance: These trees are frost tolerant down to 28°F, making them suitable for cultivation in regions with mild winters.
  • Rootstock: Grafted onto Mexican Seedling rootstock, which enhances their vigor, disease resistance, and adaptability to various soil conditions.
  • Pollination: Type B avocado; requires a Type A avocado nearby for optimal fruit set.

Growing Fuerte Avocado Trees:

  • Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained location with enough space and protection from strong winds.
  • Soil Preparation: Incorporate compost for drainage and fertility; ideal pH is 6.0–7.0.
  • Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Plant at nursery depth, backfill, and water thoroughly.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially while establishing. Mature trees are somewhat drought-tolerant.
  • Fertilization: Use a balanced avocado fertilizer and provide micronutrients like zinc and iron.
  • Pruning: Prune to manage size, improve air flow, and remove dead or diseased wood.
  • Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for lace bugs, thrips, mites, root rot, and anthracnose. Use sanitation and proper watering practices.
  • Cold Protection: Although frost-tolerant, young trees should be protected during severe cold snaps.

Tips for Successful Growing:

  • Mulching: Helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature. Keep mulch away from the trunk.
  • Monitoring Soil Moisture: Use a soil meter to avoid overwatering; ensure good drainage.
  • Wind Protection: Use windbreaks or shelters for young trees to prevent wind damage.
  • Supporting Branches: Use props or stakes for branches heavily laden with fruit.
  • Harvesting: Pick when mature and allow to ripen indoors. Ripe fruit yields slightly to pressure.
  • Container Growing: Use a large pot with good drainage and citrus-friendly potting mix. Ensure full sunlight.

By following these guidelines for growing and caring for Fuerte Avocado Trees, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious avocados. With proper attention to their needs, these trees will reward you with years of culinary delight and ornamental beauty. Happy gardening!

These trees, measured from the top of the root ball, are 18–36” tall, with a trunk diameter between 1/4–1/2 inch. The trees are 12–18 months old and should start bearing fruit in their 5th year. They are planted in a 5x12" growers pot. Within a month of delivery we suggest repotting into a larger (10"–12" diameter) container or planting directly in the ground.

Avoid at all costs. Rusty and not stable. Confusing customer service.
Size: 1-Piece, Color: Black, Size: 1-Piece, Color: Black
Do not buy!!! Cheap product and bad customer service! The product is rusted upon delivery. It is not stable and will not hold an umbrella rated for 22lb stand upright with water alone. They wanted me to refill the stand and send them pictures of the tilt even though the rust should warrant a full refund with shipping covered, if they were a good company. The company is giving me the run around on a return and conflicting information. They said they I would have to pay for the return, then that they would, then and try keep trying to offer me a discounted rate and charging me shipping. Here is a copy of the communication. They offered $10 telling me that rust is not covered in their warranty, even if it arrived rusty! First message: "After the returned item is delivered to our warehouse with no issue, we will return your amount." Second message: "Generally, rust can be caused by many factors and is not typically covered under our warranty. However, as a valued customer, we’d like to offer you a USD 10 price return if you choose to keep and continue using the base as it is. Please let us know if this solution works for you, and we will process it right away."

Cost Effective Good Weighted Base
Size: 1-Piece, Color: Black, Size: 1-Piece, Color: Black
Strong metal pole to hold the umbrella and thick plastic base that feels very well made. Very simple to put together with the provided allen-wrench, just took time to make sure it was very tight. Got it for my neighbor's umbrella. Make sure you have it where you want it before filling it. It is unfilled at the moment and yet still has helped the umbrella stay stable. I like the look of it and that it can be used with or without a table. I really like the idea that if you have another long pole items that it can be used for those as well. The double lock design is a nice feature. Inexpensive.

Purple Purple!!
Size: 9ft, Color: Dark Purple, Size: 9ft, Color: Dark Purple
Looks great!! I would say the color is like Crayola marker purple. It was easy to assemble straight out of the box. And a perfect size for my six person patio table. The weight of the fabric seems of high-quality and thickness. I would recommend as it seems to be a good value for the price point..
