Notes
'Holiday' avocado (Persea americana 'Holiday') is a tree for the food garden. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun. It is grown for large, pear-shaped fruit that ripen from fall to winter. The weeping habit stays fairly short, so it suits small spaces and containers. You will need a B Type avocado nearby for cross pollination.
Pairs well with Pomegranate, Golden Delicious apple, Sago palm, and Nightshade.
