Avocado Tree

Persea americana is a medium to large evergreen tree characterized by its dense, spreading canopy and symmetrical, upright growth habit. Its glossy, dark green leaves are elliptical and leathery, providing year-round ornamental appeal. Primarily cultivated for its nutritious, buttery-fleshed fruit, it thrives in rich, well-drained soils and warm, sunny conditions. While it can reach significant heights in the wild, grafted garden varieties remain more manageable for home harvests.
