Buy the Zutano & Mexicola Avocado Tree Combo (Persea americana 'Zutano', Persea americana 'Mexicola') is a fantastic cross-pollinating combo tree offering that ensures heightened pollination while saving space! This Avocado Tree combo ensures pollination and yield increases by pairing the B-Type Zutano Avocado and the A-Type Mexicola can cross-pollinate each other!

Both with creamy, nutty green flesh, these trees are a perfect pairing! The Zutano Avocado Trees have obovate green fruits with waxy bumps and feature a mild flavor, ripening between October and February. Mexicola Avocado is a smaller tree with thin purple skin and rich flavored creamy flesh that is ripe in September. Both have fantastic evergreen glossy foliage that lends beauty to your landscape year-round!

The unusual greenish-yellow blooms add interest and feed pollinators. These evergreen fruit trees do great in hot growing zones and do not tolerate hard frost, so keep them in a container and bring them indoors during cold weather to protect them from the chills.

Planting and Application:

Avocado trees are fantastic shade and privacy trees! Use as garden focal points or plant in an orchard! These are dual-purpose as a windbreak or privacy hedge by taking your orchard linear! Screen porches and patios with pruned trees for an evergreen accent and shade.

This Avocado Tree Combo can be kept pruned small for front yard landscaping and evergreen accenting anywhere! Pot up in a container or planter so even container gardeners, patio and balcony gardeners and small space gardens can enjoy these lovely trees with ease!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Avocado trees need full sun and very well-drained soil that's on the drier side. Provide moderate moisture while establishing. Mulch the site well to keep moisture levels even and insulate the roots.High-density planting of both trees together boosts yields and gives you an extended, varied harvest of these super healthy 'alligator pears' for your clean eating enjoyment.
