Grow Your Own High-Yield Avocados in Any Climate!

Looking to harvest fresh, creamy avocados from your own garden? The Avocado 'Bacon' is the perfect choice! Known for its smooth skin and mild flavor, this productive B-type avocado thrives in both warm and cooler climates, making it an ideal option for Australian gardeners. Whether you’re in Melbourne or further north, the ‘Bacon’ variety delivers abundant fruit with minimal effort.

Why You'll Love Avocado 'Bacon':

  • Incredible Yield: Highly productive, with expert growers reporting up to 200 avocados on one tree! Expect a generous harvest season after season.
  • Pollination Power: As a B-type, it boosts pollination for A-type avocados like ‘Hass,’ ‘Wurtz,’ and ‘Reed,’ ensuring more fruit for your garden.
  • Ideal for Cooler Climates: The most suitable B-type for southern areas, perfect for Melbourne and beyond. Grow healthy avocados even in cooler zones.
  • Versatile & Beautiful: This tree not only produces delicious fruit but also makes a stunning ornamental addition to your garden, ideal for hedging or screening.

Easy to Grow & Maintain:

  • Light: Full sun or part shade will keep your avocado happy and productive.
  • Watering: Avocados need regular watering, especially during hot weather. Keep the soil moist but well-drained.
  • Protection: Young trees benefit from protection against frost and extreme heat. Move pots to sheltered spots or cover trees when needed.
  • Soil: Prefers rich, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH (5.5–7).
  • Manageable Size: Grafted trees reach 6m tall and 4m wide but can be pruned to a more compact size for easy harvesting.

Harvest in Winter to Spring: Enjoy fresh avocados from mid-late winter into early spring—just in time for all your favorite avocado dishes!

Top Notch Service

It was a very nice surprise when my three very healthy Buxus plants were waiting for me early this morning. I love the range, quality and service of The Australian Plant shop and am most definitely a loyal customer as other providers don't even come close.

What a gorgeous tree!

My Fiddly Fig has finally decided to have it's last tantrum - nothing made it happy and all the research and care I put into it came to nothing. Of all my plants, it is the most demanding. I ordered the Banyan Tree and it's tall! The bark is a beautiful silver and the leaves are strong - it is such a healthy, majestic plant. Hopefully the fiddly fig ups its game now there's a contender for my affections in the house (but knowing the fiddly fig, it'll probably drop another leaf in protest). Thank you for such a healthy, beautiful plant, sorry, tree! :)

The plant I rec’d via online order was well established, healthy and rather quite stunning. More than I hoped for. Will certainly be using these guys again for those difficult to get Australian plants.

Happy Plant, Happy Customer

First time buyer and I was very pleased with the service and delivery. Miya was very informative and enthusiastic in letting me know how to care and manage the plant.

As it was an expensive plant I was worried they might have chosen a smaller size but that was not the case. It was big, beautiful and left a delightful impression. Love at first sight even.

I will definitely buy again!

Extremely happy

I am so happy with my plants that I received. Miya went over and beyond to source these plants that I was after as they are quite rare to find. The communication was outstanding. I picked up my plants and was overwhelmed with how healthy and beautiful they were. Thank you so much I can highly recommend this nursery.
