Avocado 'Wurtz'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Wurtz is thought of as half hardy, so remember to protect this plant from frosts and low temperatures.

Try to ensure a gap of at least 9.91 feet (3.05 metres) when sowing to prevent overcrowding your seedlings.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Wurtz is a half hardy plant.

Harvest mature fruit from May to September and allow to ripen at room temperature for about 2 weeks.

Expect harvests to start to occur in mid summer.

The Latin word “Americana” means “of the Americas”.¹
