Where and when to plant Bat Av 0 3 avocado
Grafted avocado bears sooner and true to type. Pick a selection by fruit size and flesh, and plant two kinds that flower at different times of day for better fruit set. A registered tree variety is a selection from one proven mother tree, and only grafted, budded or marcotted plants carry its traits. A seedling grown from its seed can turn out quite different. So buy from a nursery accredited by the Bureau of Plant Industry, and ask which mother tree the scions came from. Before planting, get the field ready with our guide: Pagtatanim ng puno.
