Avocado Dwarf
A compact avocado variety suited to smaller Perth gardens and large pots - producing full-sized, full-quality fruit on a tree that stays more manageable than the full-sized varieties that can reach 8-10m. Avocados need excellent drainage above everything else - they are among the most sensitive fruit trees to waterlogged roots, and root rot in poorly drained soil is the primary reason avocados fail in Perth gardens. Plant in a raised position or add a substantial mound of free-draining soil. Perth's northern and coastal suburbs suit avocados best. Full sun. Excellent drainage - this is non-negotiable. Water consistently through summer. Mulch heavily to retain moisture. Feed with low-phosphorus fertiliser. Most avocados benefit from a second variety nearby for cross-pollination.
