Item Description
From the personal collection of Wendy Huber, First Folio's Jeff Award Winning Props Design comes this stunning Avocado Plant.
Wendy's Description: "Took several tries but I finally got a seed to grow! And you're in luck, as it's already too big for my window. In a few years you could have your own avocado!"
Planted in a container that was used during multiple outdoor shows at First Folio, so it's a bit of theater memorabilia, too!
Overall Measurements: 12" Wide, 13" Tall.
AVOCADO GROWING HINTS
- Avocados love sun - the more sun the better!
- When the stem reaches 12 inches tall, pinch out the top two sets of leaves. This will encourage the plant to grow side shoots and more leaves, making it bushy. Each time the plant grows another 6 inches pinch out the 2 newest sets of leaves on top.
- Baby avocado trees can kick it outdoors in summer, but if you live anywhere where it gets cooler than 45 degrees F, you'll need to bring them back indoors in the fall/winter, before the temperatures fall.
WILL IT GROW FRUIT?
Sometimes avocado plants will begin growing fruit after they're 3 or 4 years old, others take 15+ years to grow fruit, and some never do. It helps to have several avocado trees growing together to aid with pollination. However, don't expect the fruit to be anything like the avocado that yielded your seed. Commercial avocados are grown from grafted branches to control the outcome of the fruit - a naturally grown avocado may be very different than its parent!
