Gem avocados are renowned for their rich and creamy texture, making them a favorite among avocado enthusiasts. Their semi-compact and vase-shaped tree structure makes them ideal for small gardens or limited spaces, while their delectable flavor adds an irresistible appeal to any culinary creation. Here’s a comprehensive guide on growing Gem avocado trees, from planting to harvesting:

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.

Selection of Planting Site:

  • Gem avocado trees thrive in warm climates, ideally USDA zones 9–11, although they can also be grown in large containers indoors in colder regions.
  • Choose a location with well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, as avocados are susceptible to root rot. Ensure the site receives full sunlight for optimal growth and fruit production.

Planting Process:

  • Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball of the avocado tree.
  • Gently remove the tree from its container, being careful not to disturb the roots excessively.
  • Place the tree in the center of the hole and backfill with soil, pressing down firmly to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.

Watering and Maintenance:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the tree's establishment phase.
  • Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees, following package instructions.
  • Prune the tree annually to maintain its shape and remove dead or diseased branches.

Pollination Requirements:

  • Gem avocado trees are Type A and typically require a Type B avocado tree nearby for cross-pollination, especially in most climates.
  • Ensure there is a compatible pollinator tree within close proximity to maximize fruit set.

Fruit Development and Harvesting:

  • Gem avocados do not ripen on the tree. Instead, they mature and darken after harvesting.
  • Monitor the fruit as it matures; ripe avocados will yield slightly to gentle pressure.
  • Harvest time typically spans from mid-spring through early fall, depending on the climate.
  • Once harvested, allow the avocados to ripen at room temperature until they reach the desired level of softness.

Pest and Disease Management:

  • Keep an eye out for common avocado pests such as aphids, mites, and scales. Regular inspection can help catch infestations early.
  • Practice good sanitation by removing fallen leaves and debris to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
  • Consider using organic or chemical control methods if pest or disease pressure becomes significant.

Considerations for Container Growing:

  • If growing Gem avocados in containers, choose a large pot with ample drainage holes.
  • Use a well-draining potting mix designed for container-grown trees.
  • Provide regular water and nutrients, as container plants may dry out more quickly than those planted in the ground.

Growing Gem avocado trees can be a rewarding endeavor, yielding a bountiful harvest of rich and creamy avocados. By providing the right growing conditions, proper care, and attention to pollination requirements, you can enjoy the delectable fruits of your labor from mid-spring through early fall.

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.

For more information, please enjoy our Resource Guide for planting and growing avocado trees.

Orders are sent to the grower as soon as the purchase is made. All sales are final.

NOTE: Order by Thursday to ship the following Wednesday*. Avocados cannot ship with other potted trees. *Avocados cannot ship during periods of very cold or very hot temperatures, therefore shipment of your trees will depend on the weather in your area. Avocado trees cannot be delayed to ship.

These are evergreen trees and thus the dormant bare root guarantee does not apply. Your trees will arrive in good, viable condition. Contact us immediately if they do not.

Just started using it
The scent is ok but I do notice that it takes a while to rub into my skin. I just started using it but will update later if it’s actually working.

Best lip balm I have ever used.
By far the best lip balm you will ever buy. When I say I am addicted to Chapstick/lip balm it's an understatement. I don't just have one kind, in one place. I have multiple kinds (you never know what you're feeling or need) in every place! Like my cars chapstick has a chapstick family. I have been trying to pay attention to ingredients lately and realize how many awful chemicals are in most of the products I use. So...here we are, woke up after sleeping with a fan in my face and my lip was dry and cracked straight down the middle. Something so stupid caused so much discomfort I started immediately trying all the different brands, oils, balms, etc. Some burned, some made it worse, some did nothing. Two days of this nonsense and I decided to try this product. It was delivered the next day thank goodness because I was becoming so annoyed with the pain from a small cut. I instantly put the product on and my lip felt so much better. It lasts a very long time so it isn't drying back out and it isn't painful to reapply when needed. It's been less than 24 hours and my lip is almost better. I even slept with the fan on. This balm is amazing, made in the USA, comes in a huge tube unlike the other brands, costs is amazingly low, and it has no nasty smell at all! The only complaint I have would be my concern for my addiction to carry one in my pocket and due to the ingredients it will probably melt some but I will worry about that when I need to. Seriously, this stuff is so amazing I had to write this review. I don't know these people and I sure didn't get it for free. I will be purchasing more from them and sharing what a quality product it is. Just get it.

You will want more than one!
Nice size for lip balm, larger than small chapstick. It is smooth and hydrating. I have one handy in the office, my purse, bathroom, nightstand, etc. No commission here. Just love this product!

Great lip balm
I have had chapped lips for most of my adult life. This product has been the first product that I have used, where my lips are not cracked, peeling or dry. There is no smell or taste, very neutral. I had to use the balm frequently in the beginning, now maybe only several times a day. One tube last a long time I highly recommend this lip balm.
