Fertilizing Avocado Trees

Fertilizing is an excellent way to replenish the natural nutrients in your plant’s soil. When you first plant your avocado tree, do not apply traditional NPK fertilizer. Instead, you can add some aged compost or worm castings on top of the soil around your newly planted tree.

Once established you can provide your avocado tree with a well-balanced citrus fertilizer twice per year. Be sure to apply fertilizer according to the package directions.
