Grow Tropical Fruits at Home about brogdon avocado trees - Once referred to as the alligator pear and unique in the world of avocados, Brogdon is a cold hardy tree with purple skinned fruit that encloses a juicy, buttery flavored, yellow flesh. A late season producers the large fruit can be as much as 14 to 24 ounces in weight. All avocadoes are self pollinating, and the male and female flowers occur on the same tree. Small, pale-green or yellow-green flowers are borne profusely in racemes near the branch tips covered in dark green, glossy leaves that can be as large as an adult hand. Each avocado flower is open for two days. Trees are easily pruned to a smaller size for harvesting of the fruit. location - Brogdon Avocado Trees can be grown in all 50 states simply by bringing indoors before temps drop below 40 degrees and providing lots of light.

Below are a few brief tips for successful growth both indoors and out. planting in ground - Brogdon Avocado Trees are fast growing and require space to stretch out, so plant your rows on 18 foot centers or for individual trees choose a location at least 10 feet from other trees or shrubs. planting in pot - Brogdon Avocado Trees grow very well in containers as long as you provide an adequate size pot for root development. Select a pot 18-24 plus inches in diameter and 20 plus inches in height, with adequate drain holes. Glazed pots require far less watering than raw terracotta pots due to their porous nature. soil - A well draining soil is of primary importance as Brogdon Avocado Trees roots do not like to be wet and will rot if allowed to sit in water for extended periods. A mixture of soil, sand and perlite is highly recommended for proper drainage. i ndoor light - A bright and sunny solarium or window location with a more southern exposure is best for growth and fruit production.

Depending on light conditions, location and foliage watering may be required weekly or daily.
