Fuerte Avocado Trees are prized for their excellent fruit quality, making them a popular choice among avocado enthusiasts. Known for their medium-thin skinned green fruit, these trees produce avocados weighing between 10–12 oz. With proper care and attention, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious avocados from your own Fuerte Avocado Tree. This guide provides detailed information on how to grow and care for Fuerte Avocado Trees in USDA Zones 9–10.

Due to hot summer temperatures, we have temporarily suspended tree shipments to the states of NM, TX, OK, NV and AZ.  Shipping to these states will resume in the fall once temperatures subside to levels consistent with safe healthy tree shipment. Shipments to other states will require expedited shipping during the summer months. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the protection of your order.

Characteristics of Fuerte Avocado Trees:

  • Fruit Quality: Fuerte Avocado Trees are renowned for their excellent fruit quality, producing green avocados with medium-thin skin. The fruit typically weighs between 10–12 oz.
  • Tree Size: Fuerte Avocado Trees are large spreading trees, with mature specimens reaching heights of 25–35 feet. Their expansive canopy provides ample shade and makes them an attractive addition to any landscape.
  • Ripening Period: Fuerte avocados ripen from November to June, providing a long harvest season to enjoy fresh avocados.
  • Frost Tolerance: These trees are frost tolerant down to 28°F, making them suitable for cultivation in regions with mild winters.
  • Rootstock: Grafted onto Mexican Seedling rootstock, which enhances their vigor, disease resistance, and adaptability to various soil conditions.
  • Pollination: Type B avocado; requires a Type A avocado nearby for optimal fruit set.

Growing Fuerte Avocado Trees:

  • Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained location with enough space and protection from strong winds.
  • Soil Preparation: Incorporate compost for drainage and fertility; ideal pH is 6.0–7.0.
  • Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Plant at nursery depth, backfill, and water thoroughly.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially while establishing. Mature trees are somewhat drought-tolerant.
  • Fertilization: Use a balanced avocado fertilizer and provide micronutrients like zinc and iron.
  • Pruning: Prune to manage size, improve air flow, and remove dead or diseased wood.
  • Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for lace bugs, thrips, mites, root rot, and anthracnose. Use sanitation and proper watering practices.
  • Cold Protection: Although frost-tolerant, young trees should be protected during severe cold snaps.

Tips for Successful Growing:

  • Mulching: Helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature. Keep mulch away from the trunk.
  • Monitoring Soil Moisture: Use a soil meter to avoid overwatering; ensure good drainage.
  • Wind Protection: Use windbreaks or shelters for young trees to prevent wind damage.
  • Supporting Branches: Use props or stakes for branches heavily laden with fruit.
  • Harvesting: Pick when mature and allow to ripen indoors. Ripe fruit yields slightly to pressure.
  • Container Growing: Use a large pot with good drainage and citrus-friendly potting mix. Ensure full sunlight.

By following these guidelines for growing and caring for Fuerte Avocado Trees, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious avocados. With proper attention to their needs, these trees will reward you with years of culinary delight and ornamental beauty. Happy gardening!

These trees, measured from the top of the root ball, are 18–36” tall, with a trunk diameter between 1/4–1/2 inch. The trees are 12–18 months old and should start bearing fruit in their 5th year. They are planted in a 5x12" growers pot. Within a month of delivery we suggest repotting into a larger (10"–12" diameter) container or planting directly in the ground.

Love them!!
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2, Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
Ok I normally don't leave reviews but I had to on this pillow. I was looking forever for a pillow and was nervous about buying one because you know how that usually goes when it comes to buying pillows. They arrived compressed but when you unwrap them they blow up to be a heavy duty pillow. Firm but not too firm. I don't like super soft pillows that you can roll up in a ball with one hand, I like a pillow that gives support and these do just that. They are cooling as well they are pretty for a pillow with the unique design. If you are in the market for a pillow and reading this THEN BUY THIS PILLOW & come back to tell me thank you. I promise you will NOT be disappointed. No I didn't get paid to say any of this. I wanted to give a honest review where it deserves one! You will not be disappointed! Thanks for the fast over night shipping as well. Not to mention the pricing is on point. I can say right now you will not find 2 pillows of this quality & price.

Best pillow I’ve ever tried—hands down!
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
I’ve gone through a bunch of pillows over the years, but this BETU Cooling Pillow is by far the best one I’ve ever used. I sleep in literally every position—on my back, stomach, and sides—and this pillow works perfectly no matter how I’m laying. It really does have a cooling effect, which I love as a hot sleeper. Just make sure your room is cool too, and it makes a big difference. It came vacuum-packed, but it fully expanded within just a few hours. I was able to sleep on it the same day it arrived, and it was super comfy right from the start. I also washed and dried the pillowcase before using it, and it came out looking and feeling great—no shrinking or damage at all. Honestly, I look forward to going to bed every night now just because of this pillow. It’s supportive, comfortable, and totally worth it!

Excellent pillows!
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
This pack came with 2 pillows, one firm and one that was flatter and squishy. I absolutely love the flatter one! Most comfortable pillow I've ever used! The firm one was a bit too much for me, but my husband loves it.

It’s alright.
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
Not bad pillows. They are comfortable but mine came with an odd odor, kind of mildewy smell to it. Had to spray it down to tolerate sleeping on it.
