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.

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.

Worth the purchase
Color: Orange & Blue Fumbler, Size: 3 x 8.5 x 9 inches (1 Pack)
Perfect for indoor use. My aggressive chewer loves this and has not destroyed it yet after 6 months. I recommend for indoor use as it causes NO damage or noise.

My lab loves t
Color: Orange & Blue Fumbler, Size: 3 x 8.5 x 9 inches (1 Pack)
This toy is my labs favorite toy. She’s obsessed and we were happy to find a toy she loves that can stay inside with us. The problem is how easily she tears it apart. We have to buy her a new one every month because when she bites into it it breaks down the foam inside, and from there she shreds the roping it’s covered in. We try to stop her, but with how often we play with it it’s inevitable. We have resigned ourselves to buying a new one once a month.

Not Chuck-It Durable
Color: Orange & Blue Squirrel, Size: 4.7 inches (1 Pack), Color: Orange & Blue Squirrel, Size: 4.7 inches (1 Pack)
Sadly only lasted an hour. My dog likes to pull apart toys over the course of a few months, with the exception of Chuck-It toys. They usually never get destroyed by him. I think its a good product but if you are looking for the durability like other toys from Chuck It - just wanted to share this is not the toy for you! Made him happy so not regretful of buying it, just wish it lasted longer. Here is him posing with it after he took bites of it like it was an apple.

Boredom breaker!
Color: Orange & Blue Squirrel, Size: 4.7 inches (1 Pack)
Chuckit is my go to for my 60 pound American fox hound! I had a fractured spine and needed something quickly to keep him distracted indoors while I was healing. I love that it was durable but still did not harm my hardwood floors or furniture! It arrived overnight! I highly recommend!
