Bacon Avocado Trees are a popular choice for avocado lovers, particularly those living in areas with lower winter temperatures. Known for their creamy, buttery flesh and mild flavor, Bacon Avocados are perfect for salads, slices, or spreading on toast. This guide will provide detailed information on growing and caring for Bacon Avocado Trees, ensuring you can enjoy their delicious fruit.

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 Bacon Avocado Trees:

  • Fruit Characteristics: Medium-sized fruit (10–12 oz) with medium-thin green skin that's easy to peel.
  • Flavor: Creamy, buttery flesh with a mild flavor ideal for versatile use.
  • Ripening Period: Ripens from December to March for fresh winter avocados.
  • Cold Hardiness: Tolerates temperatures down to 26 °F—ideal for cooler climates.
  • Growth Habits: Medium upright growth; reaches up to 20 feet without pruning but height is easily managed.
  • Rootstock: Grafted onto Mexican Seedling rootstock for vigor and disease resistance.
  • Pollination: Type B avocado; plant a Type A (e.g., Hass, Pinkerton, or Reed) nearby for best yields.

Growing Bacon Avocado Trees:

  • Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot with room for growth.
  • Soil Preparation: Add compost for fertility and drainage; pH 6.0–7.0 is preferred.
  • Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Plant at nursery depth, backfill, and water thoroughly.
  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during establishment; avoid letting it dry out.
  • Fertilization: Use avocado-specific fertilizer and micronutrients like zinc and iron.
  • Pruning: Maintain manageable size and airflow; pruning helps control tree height and improves harvest access.
  • Pollination: Cross-pollinate with a nearby Type A avocado tree for better fruit set.
  • Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for lace bugs, mites, and fungal issues; apply good sanitation and watering practices.
  • Cold Protection: Use frost cloth or sprays during cold spells in frost-prone regions.

Tips for Successful Growing:

  • Mulching: Helps retain moisture and control temperature. Keep mulch away from the trunk.
  • Monitoring Soil Moisture: Use a soil meter and avoid overwatering.
  • Wind Protection: Protect young trees using windbreaks or tree shelters.
  • Supporting Branches: Use stakes for fruit-heavy branches to prevent breakage.
  • Harvesting: Harvest between December and March. Let fruit ripen indoors—ripe fruit will yield to gentle pressure.

By following these guidelines for growing and caring for Bacon 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.

Can’t live without it!
I always keep one on hand in case it gets lost. Very durable and sustains a lot of chewing. It is a constant companion and play toy (thrown in my face at 1:30 a.m. as a hint it’s play time). He sleeps with it. Puts it by his bowls as he eats and drinks. Take outside for walks and play. Greets me when I come home with it. Greets guests with it. Has MANY other toys he will enjoy but nothing like a pacifier! He’s had one for years (he’s 9). One baby I’ll never take it away from. And since he’s a Shih Tzu- don’t think I have to worry about orthodontia. Highly recommend give it a try - despite mixed reviews - all dogs are not alike.

Last thru our entire teething stage
I absolutely love this. I got this when I first got my puppy (miniature dachshund) for when she started teething. It lasted her entire teething stage and she chewed on it everyday. If her teeth were really bothering her I shoved it in the freezer like the baby teething rings for about an hour and then gave it to her. There's only a few parts where her teeth cut it but it wasn't anything major or concerning. I definitely recommend for smaller breed dogs. It's somewhat smaller so I don't think it would be to great for bigger dogs.

Great for small puppy
I bought this for a new puppy. He is only 1.25 lbs but can handle this easily snd enjoys the softness coolness after it has been refrigerated. We’ve had no issues with his sharp teeth chewing holes on the teething toy as it has been durable, Also it entertains him quite well. Good value for the money,

Our dogs love this
This is an excellent product. We have two small dogs, poodle mix, who love to chew. The dogs love it, chew on it, will chase after it when I throw it and cannot get enough of it. Great purchase for a good price.
