Fuerte Avocado Trees are prized for their excellent fruit quality, making them a popular choice among avocado enthusiasts. Known for their medium-thin skinned green fruit, these trees produce avocados weighing between 10–12 oz. With proper care and attention, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious avocados from your own Fuerte Avocado Tree.

Due to hot summer temperatures, we have temporarily suspended tree shipments to the states of NM, TX, OK, NV and AZ.  Shipping to these states will resume in the fall once temperatures subside to levels consistent with safe healthy tree shipment. Shipments to other states will require expedited shipping during the summer months. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the protection of your order.

Characteristics of Fuerte Avocado Trees:

  • Fruit Quality: Fuerte Avocado Trees are renowned for their excellent fruit quality, producing green avocados with medium-thin skin. The fruit typically weighs between 10–12 oz.
  • Tree Size: Fuerte Avocado Trees are large spreading trees, with mature specimens reaching heights of 25–35 feet. Their expansive canopy provides ample shade and makes them an attractive addition to any landscape.
  • Ripening Period: Fuerte avocados ripen from November to June, providing a long harvest season to enjoy fresh avocados.
  • Frost Tolerance: These trees are frost tolerant down to 28°F, making them suitable for cultivation in regions with mild winters.
  • Rootstock: Grafted onto Mexican Seedling rootstock, which enhances their vigor, disease resistance, and adaptability to various soil conditions.
  • Pollination: Type B avocado; requires a Type A avocado nearby for optimal fruit set.

Growing Fuerte Avocado Trees:

  • Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained location with enough space and protection from strong winds.
  • Soil Preparation: Incorporate compost for drainage and fertility; ideal pH is 6.0–7.0.
  • Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Plant at nursery depth, backfill, and water thoroughly.
  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist, especially while establishing. Mature trees are somewhat drought-tolerant.
  • Fertilization: Use a balanced avocado fertilizer and provide micronutrients like zinc and iron.
  • Pruning: Prune to manage size, improve air flow, and remove dead or diseased wood.
  • Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for lace bugs, thrips, mites, root rot, and anthracnose. Use sanitation and proper watering practices.
  • Cold Protection: Although frost-tolerant, young trees should be protected during severe cold snaps.

Tips for Successful Growing:

  • Mulching: Helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate temperature. Keep mulch away from the trunk.
  • Monitoring Soil Moisture: Use a soil meter to avoid overwatering; ensure good drainage.
  • Wind Protection: Use windbreaks or shelters for young trees to prevent wind damage.
  • Supporting Branches: Use props or stakes for branches heavily laden with fruit.
  • Harvesting: Pick when mature and allow to ripen indoors. Ripe fruit yields slightly to pressure.
  • Container Growing: Use a large pot with good drainage and citrus-friendly potting mix. Ensure full sunlight.

By following these guidelines for growing and caring for Fuerte Avocado Trees, you can enjoy a bountiful harvest of delicious avocados. With proper attention to their needs, these trees will reward you with years of culinary delight and ornamental beauty. Happy gardening!

These trees, measured from the top of the root ball, are 18–36” tall, with a trunk diameter between 1/4–1/2 inch. The trees are 12–18 months old and should start bearing fruit in their 5th year. They are planted in a 5x12" growers pot. Within a month of delivery we suggest repotting into a larger (10"–12" diameter) container or planting directly in the ground.

Omega survival mode
Format: Kindle
Tatum is an Omega who has been suppressing herself since she had a heartbreaking fallout after her first heat. The boy she loved ghosted her after it was over.  Tatum lost her father when she was just 8 and her mother struggled to survive until Tatum got to be an adult and was unable to keep pushing. So now Tatum is being the parent and she needs a better paying job so she can afford to put her mother in a care facility until she is better. When she finds a job posting for Haze Instincts she knows they take care of their Omega staff and if she is a dancer or maybe something more she will be able to catch up on bills and get her mom taken care of.  As she is exposed to a few different irresistible Alphas she is forced to remember who she is and face everything she has been running from. Will she be able to accept all of her Omega nature, get her mother the care she needs, form a pack and let go of the past? This book was sad and sweet too. Tatum has been through so much and she doesn't know how everything fits together. As the pieces fit into the puzzle she has to choose a future even if it is scary.  I love the ladies she works with at the club. Their personalities are so fun. Also, I love a groveling Alpha. Though Mr. Brownies was a fun twist. I love that the story was comprehensive and filled in all of the missing pieces in a way that was engaging and made sense.  That epilogue was so freaking sweet and an absolutely perfect ending.

Exceptional
Format: Kindle
I was thoroughly intrigued with this book. It took me a couple of days to finish it, but I was running home from work to get back into the Haze pack. I loved this book and I can't wait for the next book from this author.

ending was very rushed
Format: Kindle
Fun premise and start but the initial story buildup took 90% of book so the characters coming together and overcoming villain of story was literally less than 25 pages. Ending felt rushed and way less thought out than the premise. The whole mom part of the story was unnecessary and hard to follow.

Solid Omegaverse!
Format: Kindle
4.5 strong stars!🌟 Overall great story solid omegaverse. I love how they’re fighting their instincts. Lots of spice, TONS of slick and heated moments. **Slight spoiler sort of** I was nervous reading this for pretty much one reason and that was the other “O” listed. I knew it wasn’t another female and I would have been happy/fine if it was but the concern lay in not knowing or being guaranteed the smexual preferences of our three alphas so realistically this gave me anxiety on how the dynamic would work. Anyone who has read omegaverse knows there’s usually one omega in each pack. My fear was the male omega connecting only with the female omega and that dynamic doesn’t wholly work for me. To me, the male omega needs the alphas as well so I was relieved with how this turned out.

Good plot but definitely slow burn
Format: Kindle
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5|🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ (not a ton of spice scenes for an Omegaverse) The plot, character development, scene progression, and action throughout the story was done really well. I did wish there was better pacing for the spice. I felt like the big spice was really rushed. During some scenes the story was a little hard to follow. I think some parts could’ve been cut. Overall I would read more from this author! 💖
