Avocado Trees

Avocado Trees – Creamy, Homegrown Goodness for Brisbane Gardens

Enjoy fresh, homegrown avocados straight from your backyard with an avocado tree (Persea americana). Thriving in Brisbane’s warm climate, avocado trees are productive, attractive, and easy to grow with the right care. Whether you love them on toast, in salads, or as guacamole, growing your own means you’ll always have creamy, nutrient-rich avocados at your fingertips.

Avocado trees feature lush, evergreen foliage and can be grown in the ground or for dwarf varieties large pots. Avocado's are self pollinating, for better pollination, plant both an A-type and B-type variety to encourage cross-pollination. With proper care, you can enjoy a delicious harvest season after season.

Popular Avocado Varieties for Queensland:

A-Type Varieties:

• Hass – Rich, creamy texture with dark, pebbly skin. Mid to late-season harvest.
• Reed – Large, round fruit with smooth skin and buttery flavour. Late-season harvest.
• Wurtz (Dwarf) – Compact tree ideal for pots, producing small, creamy fruit. Mid-season harvest.

B-Type Varieties:

• Shepard – Smooth, green skin that stays green when ripe. Early-season harvest.
• Fuerte – Pear-shaped with a smooth, thin skin and nutty flavour. Mid-season harvest.
• Sharwil – Small to medium-sized fruit with rich, buttery flesh. Late-season harvest.

The difference between A-type and B-type avocado varieties lies in their flowering patterns, some flowers open in the morning and others in the evening, which affect cross-pollination and fruit production. 

Key Features:

• Homegrown avocados with creamy, delicious flavour
• Lush, evergreen foliage for year-round beauty
• Ideal for large gardens, choose dwarf for smaller gardens and pots
  

Care Tips:

• Full sun (6+ hours daily)
• Regular watering, especially in dry periods
• Well-draining soil & seasonal feeding

Avocado trees can vary in height depending on the variety and growing conditions. Here’s a general idea:

Standard Avocado Trees:

• Height: Can grow up to 10-15 meters (33-50 feet) tall in ideal conditions.
• Growth Habit: These trees tend to have a large canopy and require more space.

Dwarf Avocado Trees:

• Height: Typically grow to about 2-4 meters (6-12 feet) tall.
• Growth Habit: Dwarf varieties, like the Wurtz avocado, are compact and perfect for smaller spaces or container gardening.

For smaller spaces or easy harvesting, many gardeners prefer dwarf varieties or keep standard trees pruned to a manageable size.
