🌼 Growing Information

The Marcus Pumpkin Avocado Tree (Persea americana) is an evergreen tree that can reach 30 feet tall and wide when mature. It thrives in full sun and prefers well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH between 5–7. Water weekly during establishment, then as needed once established, especially during dry periods.

This variety performs best in USDA Zones 9a–11 and is well suited for South Florida and similar climates. Container-grown trees can be planted year-round. Regular pruning helps maintain structure, as avocado wood can be brittle in strong winds. Mulching and fertilizing several times per year with an avocado-specific fertilizer is recommended.

Blooming typically occurs February–April, with fruiting following October–November. Fruits do not ripen on the tree and should be harvested mature, then allowed to ripen off the tree.

⚠️ Important Seed Disclaimer

• Trees grown from seed may not produce identical fruit

• Fruiting is not guaranteed

• Seed-grown trees may take several years to mature

• For guaranteed fruit quality, grafting is recommended
