Frequently Asked Questions
Do avocado trees need another tree to bear fruit?
Avocado trees can set fruit on their own, but pairing a Type A tree with a Type B tree produces a much bigger harvest. This happens because avocado flowers switch back and forth between male and female stages throughout the day. For example, planting a Type A variety like the Hass Avocado pairs well with a Type B variety like the Cold Hardy Avocado will boost each other’s pollination for an even bigger harvest.

How long does it take for an avocado tree to produce fruit?
Grafted nursery trees typically begin producing fruit within 3-4 years. However, trees grown from seed can take anywhere from 7-13 years to bear fruit, and their yield may differ in taste and quality from the parent avocado.
