Pinkerton Avocado Tree

Plant in full sun in well-draining soil with good air circulation. Dig a hole wider than the root ball and plant at the same depth it was growing in its container. Avoid planting too deeply. Backfill gently with native soil and water thoroughly after planting. Keep soil evenly moist during the establishment period. Mulch around the base to retain moisture, keeping mulch away from direct contact with the trunk.
