- Avocado trees grow well in a subtropical climate but even a mild, temperate climate is suitable — providing they are sheltered from cold winds and frosts and are in a sunny position. Popular varieties include 'Hass', 'Hopkins', 'Reed' and 'Zurtano'. You can grow avocados from seed, but at planting time it is advisable for you to treat the seed with fungicide powder as avocados are susceptible to root rot. They are self-pollinating, so you can treat one tree and bear fruit. Avocados require deep, moderately rich, well-drained soil. Mulch from the trunk of the tree to the outer limits of the branches with plenty of organic matter, and water well during summer, especially while the tree is young. The trees grow to nine metres (30 feet) when they are mature, without any need for shaping or pruning.
