Bacon Avocado Trees are a popular choice for avocado lovers, particularly those living in areas with lower winter temperatures. Known for their creamy, buttery flesh and mild flavor, Bacon Avocados are perfect for salads, slices, or spreading on toast. This guide will provide detailed information on growing and caring for Bacon Avocado Trees, ensuring you can enjoy their delicious fruit.

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 Bacon Avocado Trees:

  • Fruit Characteristics: Medium-sized fruit (10–12 oz) with medium-thin green skin that's easy to peel.
  • Flavor: Creamy, buttery flesh with a mild flavor ideal for versatile use.
  • Ripening Period: Ripens from December to March for fresh winter avocados.
  • Cold Hardiness: Tolerates temperatures down to 26 °F—ideal for cooler climates.
  • Growth Habits: Medium upright growth; reaches up to 20 feet without pruning but height is easily managed.
  • Rootstock: Grafted onto Mexican Seedling rootstock for vigor and disease resistance.
  • Pollination: Type B avocado; plant a Type A (e.g., Hass, Pinkerton, or Reed) nearby for best yields.

Growing Bacon Avocado Trees:

  • Location: Choose a sunny, well-drained spot with room for growth.
  • Soil Preparation: Add compost for fertility and drainage; pH 6.0–7.0 is preferred.
  • Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Plant at nursery depth, backfill, and water thoroughly.
  • Watering: Keep soil consistently moist during establishment; avoid letting it dry out.
  • Fertilization: Use avocado-specific fertilizer and micronutrients like zinc and iron.
  • Pruning: Maintain manageable size and airflow; pruning helps control tree height and improves harvest access.
  • Pollination: Cross-pollinate with a nearby Type A avocado tree for better fruit set.
  • Pest and Disease Management: Monitor for lace bugs, mites, and fungal issues; apply good sanitation and watering practices.
  • Cold Protection: Use frost cloth or sprays during cold spells in frost-prone regions.

Tips for Successful Growing:

  • Mulching: Helps retain moisture and control temperature. Keep mulch away from the trunk.
  • Monitoring Soil Moisture: Use a soil meter and avoid overwatering.
  • Wind Protection: Protect young trees using windbreaks or tree shelters.
  • Supporting Branches: Use stakes for fruit-heavy branches to prevent breakage.
  • Harvesting: Harvest between December and March. Let fruit ripen indoors—ripe fruit will yield to gentle pressure.

By following these guidelines for growing and caring for Bacon 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.

Great Toy in Spite of Everything.
Color: Purple
My dog is a border collie. She loves chewing, fetching, tug of war and catch. The first day we had this toy she chewed off two of the feet. I didn't give it much of a life span. Two weeks later she chewed off a third foot. Miraculously no stuffing was exposed. It has now been a month and the toy is still going strong, albeit with one foot! She loves it. It is now June 1st. It has been almost three months and I am retiring the toy. It no longer has any feet and the tail has been ripped open and stuffing is coming out. All in all I think I got my money's worth from this toy. I ordered another one. She still loves it!

Awesome, but not the best squeakers.
Color: Purple
I bought the orange gecko for my 5-month-old Corgi puppy. He absolutely loves it. He came up with a "game" (sort of) where if I pick it up and start squeaking one of the ends/squeakers really quickly over and over, he'll grab the other end/squeaker and start doing the same thing with me. It was really cute until one of the squeakers stopped working about a week after I bought it... but I guess the toy wasn't too expensive, and he doesn't really seem to mind that one of the squeakers doesn't work anymore. I might buy another next time I do an Amazon order (so I can get the free shipping) and see if it lasts a little longer.

Great Toy For a Great Price
Color: Purple
My Aussie loves toys and plays with them as though she is a small child. She has a basket and will go to the basket and dig through it until she finds what she is looking for. Lately she has been using the bungee gecko as her toy of choice. She gets bored easily and will rip the stuffing out of most toys, the fact that this one has lasted 6 weeks or so is impressive with no rips, holes or missing limbs. Her favorite way to play is to come over to me and nudge me to play tug of war and we have broke many toys this way but so far we can play tug a war several minutes at a time and the gecko is still in one piece. For the price which is considerable less than some of her other toys I have already ordered a couple of replacements for the future. This is a great well built dog toy that has has a lot of give and can be stretched without ripping.

No longer as durable
Color: Purple
I have one of these that has made it through 2 dogs but now the bungee is stretched out. It's been such a well loved toy I recently got another one. They've changed the plush fabric. The old one was indestructible. This new one is much thinner and easily torn. I wish they would go back to the old plush fabric.
