Tree is great for large containers, as it only grows to about 8 to 10 feet tall. Great for patios or decks. Easy to protect if frost may be a problem. Produces medium sized green fruit in the summer. If used in a container, plant in good quality potting soil only. Bears young. Review: Great Tree! - The tree was beautifully packaged and arrived ahead of schedule. It came with detailed information about care. I planted it in a 22 inch planter about a week after it arrived, and I plan to keep it indoors year round since I live in the NW. I have it in a southeast facing window and have fertilized as advised, but so far it hasn't grown, not even a little. It hasn't died and looks relatively healthy, just hasn't grown in the month since it's arrived. Probably wouldn't recommend this as a house plant, but would definitely recommend buying from this seller if planning to plant the tree outdoors. Update: It has now been a full six months since I've had the tree. I've moved and now have the tree in a West facing window. It has about 10 new leaves and many, many more leaf buds! A few months ago, it was COVERED in tiny avocado flowers, but none of them turned into fruit. The tree didn't fare very well during the winter indoors (and maybe didn't like the move) and lost about 75% of its original leaves. It's strange, the new leaves are about twice the size of the original leaves and more round vs. spear shaped. They're also a much lighter green, although they do look healthy. Review: No avocados yet - I bought this tree four years ago. It’s still alive, but hasn’t made any avocados. I expected some during about the third year, but nothing yet. It’s grown a little bit, but seems to struggle with my climate (I’m in zone 5). It’s been in a large pot since I got it, and we bring it inside every winter and outside every spring (but it’s heavy now and a lot of work to move it). When I first received it in the mail, it had a tiny avocado on it (I assumed it was a pretty fresh cutting), but it fell off before it got bigger than a penny. Last year it had a lot of nice flowers, and I was hopeful for fruit, but all the flowers fell off when I moved it outside. It’s a nice little tree and I’m still hopeful for fruit in the next couple years. It’s also a great conversation piece because no one around here has any trees like it! ## Features - The Little Cado dwarf avocado tree is a great variety to plant if fresh avocados are to your liking and space is a problem.

Hard to water right if you put it in too large a container too quickly. As far as how big a container when fully grown? Hard to say. Use a pot as large as you can accommodate logistically and go from there. **Q: are the avocade trees grafted?** A: Yes, grafted trees, a variety only growing to around 8 feet tall if never clipped, but can easily be clipped to around 6 feet or so if need be, even a tad shorter. **Q: I live in sedona az where the summer temperatures are in the 90s, occaisionally over 100. will the tree survive and produce at those temperatures?** A: I purchased the dwarf avocado tree for my brother, who lives in Colorado. He planted his tree in a large pot with wheels, so he can roll it in during the winter. It's doing well. So, perhaps the same method could be applied with the extreme heat. **Q: I bought this tree in 2013 and groth has been somewhat slow but is starting to grow now but have not had any avacado grow on it? is my tree a dud?** A: I cannot tell you since my tree was never delivered from this seller. If your tree looks like it has been grafted, then you should have seen blooms in 2-3 years. If not it could be up to 18 years to never. First year you would pick blooms off. Future blooms should be protected from strong winds. After 5 years it may be time to learn how to graft avocados.

It was very well packaged with a bunch of flowers on the tree on arrival (May 4th 2012). I replanted the tree from the nursery 5 gallon pot to a 7 gallon pot. I used 1/3 top soil, 1/3 Miracle grow potting soil with time release fertilizer, 1/3 sand. I drilled 4 1/2" holes at the bottom of the pot and reenforced the stake with wires, going from the pot to the stake. Soon after replanting, the tree started to loose some leaves. I found out to be normal in the Spring. 2 weeks latter, I counted 27 baby avocados growing. I sadly removed 24 avocados. I wanted the tree energy to produce new growth, and kept 3 avocados for curiosity and food testing. As of now (June 1st), the Little Cado has been sprouting all over the place. I also water it deeply once every other day. temperatures in eastern Ky has been between 55 F as its lowest and 95 F at its highest. The little Cado has taken all the heat with no issues. I also make sure it gets shade, from the car port, from the hard afternoon sun after 3PM. So far, I am extremely happy with Clifton and the Little Cado. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/72599963-little-cado-dwarf-avocado-tree-five-gallon](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/72599963-little-cado-dwarf-avocado-tree-five-gallon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
