Starting your own Avocado tree is a lesson in patience that pays off in creamy, homegrown harvests and a lifetime of shade. These seedlings are prized for their lush, large leaves, but they do require a bit of “tough love” regarding their roots; they absolutely demand well-draining soil, as they are prone to “wet feet.” Expect a vigorous grower that loves the sun but needs protection from harsh winds and frost when young. It’s an investment in your future toast that adds a sophisticated, tropical structure to your garden as it matures.
