They are planted in a 5x12" grower's pot. Within a month of delivery, we suggest repotting into a larger (10"-12" diameter) container or planting directly in the ground. Ultimately, avocado trees will be happiest and most productive when planted in the ground. Like citrus trees, avocado trees appreciate well-aerated soil that retains moisture and also drains well. Provide full sun, regular feeding, and good drainage to keep the tree happy and productive. END-ITEM
