Wholesale Cold Hardy Avocado Tree

Creamy, homegrown avocados in climates where most avocado trees give up — this cold-hardy selection tolerates temps down to about 20°F. The Cold Hardy Avocado Tree is a Mexican-type avocado selected for exceptional cold tolerance, making it one of the few avocados that can be grown in-ground in Zone 8 and pushed into Zone 7 with a sheltered spot and some winter protection. Its fruit is rich, buttery, and full-flavored — the kind of avocado that makes you wonder why you ever bought one at the grocery store. It's self-fertile, evergreen, and lush year-round, with a canopy that brings genuine tropical presence to the landscape. What I love about it This is the avocado for gardeners who've been told their climate is too cold. Plant it in a warm, south-facing spot in-ground, or keep it in a large container you can move under cover during hard freezes. Either way, you get glossy evergreen foliage, fragrant spring blooms, and — with patience — actual avocados you grew yourself. One tree is all you need. The flavor payoff is worth every bit of the wait.
