Experience the Joy of Growing Your Own Avocados with EverGrow Bags!

EverGrow Bags offer a unique and efficient way to grow avocados, even in challenging soil conditions. Our customers have successfully produced fruit in 40-litre EverGrow Bags, with some reporting harvests within just three years! Whether you have limited space or clay-heavy soil, EverGrow Bags can help you nurture healthy avocado trees right in your backyard.

• Excellent Drainage: EverGrow Bags are perfect for areas with clay soil. When placed above ground, these bags provide excellent drainage, helping to prevent root rot and other issues.

• Space Management: Planting avocado trees in EverGrow Bags allows for better control of their size and growth, making them ideal for small backyards.

• Customizable Growth: You can experiment with different planting methods. For example, a 40-litre bag can be placed partially above ground or in a raised bed for improved drainage and root management.

• 40-Litre Bags: Ideal for compact growth, but regular watering and care are necessary.

• 80-Litre Bags: Better for maintaining even moisture levels and supporting larger crops. However, these bags require additional staking or support to manage the tree's canopy.

• Soil Selection: Use a light, free-draining medium rather than garden soil to avoid root rot.

• Pruning: Regular pruning is essential to maintain the desired tree size. This is especially important if you're not growing a dwarf variety.

• Fertilization: Provide regular liquid feed and foliar feed to ensure your trees stay healthy and productive.

Foliar Feeding Recipe:

• 2 teaspoons of Fish Emulsion (or water-soluble fertilizer)
• 2 teaspoons of Molasses
• 2 teaspoons of Seaweed
• Mix in 1 litre of water and spray on leaves every two weeks for best results.

If you live in a cooler climate, it's crucial to choose the right avocado variety. Here are some tips:

• Late-Season Flowering: Opt for varieties that flower in late November or early December when nights are warmer.

• Precocious Varieties: Choose trees that begin bearing fruit in 2 years, rather than waiting 5-8 years.

• Small Tree Size: Look for varieties that grow under 3 meters in height.

• Drainage is Key: Avocados are sensitive to root rot, so ensure you plant them in free-draining soil.

• Protect from Frost: Avocados need warmth, so protect them from frosts, especially in the first 3-5 years.

• Shelter from Winds: Young trees need shelter from strong winds. Consider planting them in a protected area or providing windbreaks.

• Maximize Yields: If space permits, plant both A-type and B-type flowering avocados to improve pollination and fruit yield.

• Heavy Lifting: A filled 80-litre bag can be heavy. Consider bags with handles for easier moving.

• Espaliering Option: For larger trees in 80-litre bags, espaliering (supporting branches like a grapevine) can help manage canopy weight and encourage root growth within the bag.

By following these guidelines and choosing the right EverGrow Bag, you can enjoy a bountiful avocado harvest, even in less-than-ideal conditions. Happy growing!
