Persea americana, commonly known as the avocado tree, is an evergreen fruit tree prized for its creamy, nutrient-rich fruit and attractive glossy foliage. Fun fact: avocados are botanically classified as berries because they develop from a single flower and contain one large seed. With proper care, a mature tree can produce hundreds of avocados in a single season. Care Needs:• Light: Full sun• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water deeply and allow the soil to partially dry between waterings. Avoid poorly drained soil.• Pruning: Prune lightly after harvest to maintain shape, remove dead or crossing branches, and control size if needed• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced citrus or avocado fertilizer in early spring and throughout the growing season according to label directions
