The avocado is known as one of the most nutritious fruits. Avocados bloom in March, and the flowers are beautiful. The fruit ripens from August to September. The avocado is a fleshy drupe, and when ripe the skin changes from yellow-green, reddish-brown to brown, and after ripening the skin turns yellow-green or dark green. The flesh is slightly soft, milky white in color, and extremely fine in texture. The flesh has an egg-yolk flavor and is slightly sweet.

Potted avocado trees are easy to care for and highly adaptable to soil. Water them so that the soil dries out between waterings, and root rot will not occur. Avocados like light and prefer a hot and fairly humid climate. Fertilize frequently, but apply light doses; you can use organic fertilizers such as cake fertilizer. After avocado trees flower and fruit, they tend to lack zinc, so be sure to apply some zinc-containing fertilizer each year to keep the nutrient components balanced. Avocados basically do not get insects and have few diseases, so there is no need to spray pesticides to kill pests.

Many plant lovers like to grow the small seedling grown from an avocado seed in a flower pot, and this kind of seedling grown from seed grows very fast. But after such a seedling grows up, it enters the fruiting stage very late, or it only blooms without setting fruit. So I suggest using grafting to propagate avocados, but seedlings grown from seed can be used as rootstock. Generally, after growing an avocado seed in a pot for one year, it can be used as rootstock for grafting in the spring of the second year.

When grafting, choose a section of healthy, disease-free scion from the potted mother avocado tree. On the rootstock, at a spot 5~6cm near the roots, cut a flat surface of about 3cm with a knife, then cut a similar flat surface on the scion as well, then press the flat surfaces of the scion and the rootstock together and bind them tightly with tape. Generally in about one month, new buds grow on the scion, and in this way you have propagated a very good small avocado sapling, and a fruit tree propagated by grafting will bloom in the second year after grafting and bear fruit very soon.
