Avocados can benefit from being planted close to a building in the colder climates to take advantage of the radiant heat
Avocados like fast-draining organic soil. Avocado trees prefer full sun, but young trees need some protection from hot afternoon sun until they develop dense foliage. Water avocados on a regular basis during warm seasons. Avocados do not like cold damp soil and can easily develop root rot if they remain wet for long periods. If poor drainage is suspected plant on a mound or raised bed 12 to 24 inches tall. They are also sensitive to cold and may require protection from frost. Avocados are often alternate bearing, and the fruit crop will be larger if the tree is planted with a second avocado tree. Avocados can get to be quite tall but can be held to below 10 feet with summer pruning.
