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 four varieties of the Cold Hardy Avocado: the Mexicola, the Brogdon, the Oro Negro, and the Bacon. You will receive one of the four 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!

1. Planting: The Cold Hardy Avocado is specially adapted to our cooler climates. They will grow in partial shade but prefer full sun when possible. And the skin of the fruit is paper-thin, and purple-black in color - they have high-quality flesh with a large amount of oil and are hardy to about 20-degrees once established.

Water the tree well before planting, then dig a hole larger than the pot you purchased it in and 1 to 2 inches deeper. Remove the tree from the pot and separate the roots, careful to avoid breakage. Water the tree and fill in the dirt as you water. Cover the new soil with mulch to retain moisture and keep weeds away.

If planting in a container, use a cactus or citrus soil mix that is well-draining in a container that is slightly larger than the current one.

Note: This product grows best in well-draining soil. When you receive your plant, you may notice small, white beads or rocks in the soil - this medium is added to increase drainage and keep your plant happy and healthy!

2. Watering: Cold Hardy Avocado Trees may not need to be watered during the winter season or rainy months, but watch for extended mid-winter dry spells. Watch soil moisture carefully at the end of the irrigating season. Make sure the soil has dried out before winter arrives.

3. Fertilizing: Commence feeding young trees after one year of growth by using a balanced fertilizer four times yearly. Unusual temperature changes can cause plants to drop leaves. Leaf drop is natural and the plant will typically replace its foliage during its natural growing season.

4. Pruning: Cold Hardy Avocados need little to no training. You may wish to trim the tree’s skirts to deter small critters, but other than that, this tree is never pruned.

5. Pollination: Avocado Trees are self-fertile, so you don't have to have another Avocado Tree around for it to bear fruit. If it blooms indoors, you might want to shake it a bit to spread the pollen, since you will have no bees or wind to do it for you. However, as with all fruit trees, your Avocados will each produce more fruit with two trees.

Estimated Shipping Time: Most orders ship immediately. As noted on the website, some items are seasonal, and may only ship in spring or fall. Once your order is shipped, you'll receive an email with a tracking number.

Healthy Cold Hardy delivered quickly!

It came quickly and in great condition! It was purchased to keep my new Hass from here company. They should encourage larger yields together. Can’t wait to pick and enjoy avocados from my own trees with my family!

Cold Hardy Avocado Tree kit

Was there supposed to be a kit that came with the tree?

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Todd! Thanks for reaching out! It looks like a kit wasn’t part of this order, but no worries - we offer several starter kits and fertilizers that work great with your Cold Hardy Avocado. You can browse them here: No, it doesn't look like they ordered a kit to go along with it. We do have some kit options that they can check out, though.

Great customer service

I ordered two. One died, fast going trees replaced promptly. The asked for a few verification steps to be taken, but nothing unreasonable (in this day and age). Thank you.
