The Go-To Avocado Tree for Cold Climates

Why Cold Hardy Avocado Trees?

Home-grown avocados, no matter where you live. With the Cold Hardy Avocado Tree, it's possible. This strong tree withstands frigid temperatures as low as 20 degrees, living up to its name.

Simply plant your Avocado Tree in a container and bring it inside during the winter months - it will continue to grow. You’ll get an abundant yield of fruit, year after year, and even faster than you would with seed-grown varieties. Basically, the Cold Hardy Avocado's fast growth means you're going to enjoy your avocados in at least three years instead of the 10 years or more it takes to grow fruit from seedlings.

What is a Jumbo Cold Hardy Avocado Tree?

Jumbo trees are the most mature plants offered at Fast Growing Trees. Thanks to their well-developed root systems and large container size, they deliver superior drought resistance and enhanced mineral absorption. With their advanced growth, Jumbos are primed to establish quickly and start producing delicious fruit sooner than younger trees.

Grown in limited quantities, Jumbos offer an immediate visual upgrade and a head start on harvests.

Why FastGrowingTrees.com is Better

-Our Cold Hardy Avocado Tree is a proven performer.

-We've hand-picked the best, healthiest varieties to ship to your door.

-Because they've been grafted (with rootstock combined from a hardy, disease-resistant tree, and a mature tree) and grown in our greenhouse with care, they're happy and healthy from day one to your door.

-With our largest Cold Hardy Avocado Trees, you may get fruit as soon as the first year...perfect for those who want to harvest their home-grown avocados as soon as possible!

-We carry seven varieties of the Cold Hardy Avocado: Mexicola, Brogdon, Oro Negro, Bacon, Joey, Don Juan and Fantastic. You will receive one of the seven when you order, but rest assured that each variety delivers the rich, buttery flavor and carefree, hardy growth that make the Cold Hardy Avocado famous.

Superior flavor from a superfood. Is there anything better? The texture and taste of store-bought simply can't compare. Whether you're making homemade guacamole or the ever-popular avocado toast, the bold flavor is amazing. And the second-to-none taste isn't the only benefit you'll reap because they're loaded with vitamins A, B6, C, E.

So, the Cold Hardy Avocado Tree is one of the most versatile trees on the market. For a larger tree, plant it outdoors and watch it soar to heights of 15 to 20 feet. Or, for a shorter tree, plant in a container and you can limit growth to between 5 and 7 feet in height. Many growers find this method optimal for moving the tree between indoors and out.

Our larger sizes commonly bear fruit their very first year. And your tree will be more forgiving and easier to grow indoors or out. But demand from new orchards and home growers has put this tree in short supply. We recommend that you order yours today while larger sizes are still available!

This tree is awesome and doing very well so far.

I love this avacado and hope that it continues to mature along with my new Hass avacado that arrived recently.

I received two cold hardy

I received two cold hardy avocado trees. They arrived in good shape. They were both taller than I expected, but I thought the trees would be a fuller with leaves and branches. The one was ok, but the other did not have many leaves on it. I grew one from a seed and it is about a year old and looks much healthier. I wanted these because they are grafted and should produce fruit sooner.
