Grow fresh avocados even in small spaces with the Grafted Wurtz Avocado Tree, also known as “Little Cado.” This naturally smaller-growing variety is ideal for patios, balconies, and container gardening.

Wurtz is unique because it produces both Type A and Type B flowers, making it effectively self-pollinating and an excellent choice for gardeners who only have space for one tree.

This grafted tree is propagated from mature fruiting wood, ensuring true-to-type growth and earlier fruit production compared to seed-grown plants. It produces smooth green-skinned avocados with creamy texture and rich flavor, typically ripening from late winter through spring.

Perfect for USDA Zone 9B and warmer. Frost sensitive below 32°F, especially when young.
