Persea Holiday Avocado
The Holiday Avocado Tree is a dwarf cultivar, ideal for edible landscapes, containers, or as an ornamental specimen. Valued for both fruit and looks, this tropical, multistemmed evergreen blooms profusely from late spring into early fall with showy, greenish-white blossoms. It yields very large avocados, weighing 18 to 24 ounces, featuring smooth, creamy, great-flavored flesh. Growing up to 16 feet tall and 10 feet wide, it prefers full sun and rich, well-draining soil. The tree is self-pollinating, though planting two types can improve the crop. It exhibits vigorous growth and is naturally pest resistant.
