Grafted Avocado Tree
Persea americana
An avocado grown from a stone will take ten to twelve years to fruit, if it ever does, and the fruit will not resemble the parent. A grafted tree fruits in three to four years and comes true to the variety. That difference is the entire reason to buy a tree rather than sprout a pit.
We graft onto seedling rootstock here and grow the trees on to two, four and six feet before they leave the nursery. Every tree ships with the graft union clearly visible above the soil line — check it, and remove any shoots that appear below it.
- Grafted, not seedling — fruits in 3–4 years and comes true to variety
- Grown on here to 2, 4 or 6 ft before sale
- Graft union clearly visible; remove rootstock suckers below it

How to look after your Grafted Avocado Tree
Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.
- Light
- Full sun. Six to eight hours minimum for a worthwhile crop.
- Water
- Deeply and regularly, especially while fruit is setting and swelling. Mulch heavily to hold soil moisture.
- Humidity
- Ambient.
- Soil
- Deep, free-draining soil. Avocado is more sensitive to waterlogging than almost any other fruit tree — plant on a raised mound if your ground holds water after rain.
- Feeding
- Balanced feed in early spring, high-potassium once fruit sets, and well-rotted manure each winter.
- Temperature
- Thrives in the Pakistani plains. Shade young grafted trees through their first summer; mature trees handle full sun and 45°C.
If something goes wrong
Flowers form but fruit does not set
Why it happens: Poor pollination or heat stress at flowering.
What to do: Plant a second variety nearby where cross-pollination is needed, and shade the tree during extreme heat.
Fruit dropping while small
Why it happens: Water stress or a natural thinning.
What to do: Keep watering even and mulch the root zone. A degree of natural drop is normal and healthy.
Suckers below the graft union
Why it happens: Rootstock growth.
What to do: Remove them flush at the trunk as soon as they appear, or they will outgrow the grafted variety.
