Little Cado avocado

Garden uses

Notes

'Little Cado' avocado (Persea americana 'Little Cado') is a tree for the food garden, grown for its buttery green-skinned fruit. 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 stays compact, reaching about 10 feet tall, so it suits pots and is easy to protect in winter. It is an A Type, so plant a B Type nearby to get fruit on both trees.

Pairs well with Pittosporum, Red ginger, Staghorn fern, and Sichuan pepper.
