Stewart Avocado Tree

Plant Stewart Avocado Tree in a location that receives full sun and has excellent drainage. Choose a site protected from strong winds and frost, with enough space for mature growth. Dig a hole slightly wider than the root ball and at the same depth, position the tree so the root flare sits just above soil level, then backfill gently without compacting the soil. Water thoroughly after planting and apply mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk.

Water regularly during the establishment period, then water deeply but less frequently once established, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering. Avoid overwatering, as avocado roots are sensitive to poor drainage. Fertilize with an avocado or citrus fertilizer during the growing season to support healthy growth and fruiting. Prune lightly as needed to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches, and protect young trees from frost in cooler conditions.
