Grafted Bacon Avocado Tree – Persea americana Live Fruit Tree | 1 Gallon Pot Cold Hardy B-Type | Heavy Producer | Mid-Season Harvest

Grow your own avocados with a Grafted Bacon Avocado Tree, a cold-tolerant B-type variety known for reliable production, vigorous growth, and excellent pollination compatibility with A-type avocados like Hass.

Bacon avocado is believed to be a Guatemalan × Mexican hybrid and is valued for its ability to tolerate cooler temperatures better than many other avocado varieties. It produces small to medium, oval-shaped fruit with smooth, pale yellow flesh and a mild, slightly sweet flavor. While lower in oil than Hass, it offers a smooth, buttery texture and consistent harvests.

This is a grafted tree, meaning it is propagated from mature fruiting wood for true-to-type growth and earlier fruit production compared to seed-grown trees.

Your tree will arrive in a 1-gallon nursery pot, securely packaged in soil and sealed to maintain moisture during shipping.

You will receive:
✔️ 1 Grafted Bacon Avocado Tree
✔️ Shipped in a 1-gallon nursery pot
✔️ Grafted for true-to-type fruit

🌿 Planting & Care Highlights

• Transplant carefully without disturbing the root ball to prevent shock
• Allow 48 hours in partial shade before full sun exposure if planting outdoors
• Mulch 3–5 inches away from trunk to retain moisture
• Water weekly during establishment (about 1 inch per week)
• Avoid overwatering mature trees, as it can reduce fruit quality
• Use well-draining soil to prevent root rot

Young trees should be protected from temperatures below 50°F. Mature trees are more tolerant but prolonged freezing conditions may damage foliage and reduce fruiting.
