Growing environment

The average precipitation in the origin of avocado is generally more than 1200 mm, with obvious dry and wet seasons, but the annual precipitation is generally more than 1000 mm, and it is not particularly dry.

High temperature and drought are extremely detrimental to the growth of avocados and can easily cause sunburn on branches and leaves. High temperatures during the flowering period can also cause flower and fruit drop. Avocado is a shallow-rooted tree species with fragile branches, so it has poor wind resistance, so it is best to choose a sheltered area. It has a wide adaptability to soil, but is more suitable for well-drained, fertile sandy loam soil with a water table lower than 2 meters and a soil depth of more than 1 meter.

Avocados are not conducive to growing in low-lying land with poor drainage or soil with high water tables, and are susceptible to root rot. Environmental conditions of high temperature and high humidity can make it grow rapidly. If the environmental conditions are not suitable, it will cause slow growth.
