Gem avocados are renowned for their rich and creamy texture, making them a favorite among avocado enthusiasts. Their semi-compact and vase-shaped tree structure makes them ideal for small gardens or limited spaces, while their delectable flavor adds an irresistible appeal to any culinary creation. Here’s a comprehensive guide on growing Gem avocado trees, from planting to harvesting:

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.

Selection of Planting Site:

  • Gem avocado trees thrive in warm climates, ideally USDA zones 9–11, although they can also be grown in large containers indoors in colder regions.
  • Choose a location with well-draining soil to prevent waterlogging, as avocados are susceptible to root rot. Ensure the site receives full sunlight for optimal growth and fruit production.

Planting Process:

  • Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball of the avocado tree.
  • Gently remove the tree from its container, being careful not to disturb the roots excessively.
  • Place the tree in the center of the hole and backfill with soil, pressing down firmly to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.

Watering and Maintenance:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the tree's establishment phase.
  • Mulch around the base of the tree to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilize regularly with a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees, following package instructions.
  • Prune the tree annually to maintain its shape and remove dead or diseased branches.

Pollination Requirements:

  • Gem avocado trees are Type A and typically require a Type B avocado tree nearby for cross-pollination, especially in most climates.
  • Ensure there is a compatible pollinator tree within close proximity to maximize fruit set.

Fruit Development and Harvesting:

  • Gem avocados do not ripen on the tree. Instead, they mature and darken after harvesting.
  • Monitor the fruit as it matures; ripe avocados will yield slightly to gentle pressure.
  • Harvest time typically spans from mid-spring through early fall, depending on the climate.
  • Once harvested, allow the avocados to ripen at room temperature until they reach the desired level of softness.

Pest and Disease Management:

  • Keep an eye out for common avocado pests such as aphids, mites, and scales. Regular inspection can help catch infestations early.
  • Practice good sanitation by removing fallen leaves and debris to reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
  • Consider using organic or chemical control methods if pest or disease pressure becomes significant.

Considerations for Container Growing:

  • If growing Gem avocados in containers, choose a large pot with ample drainage holes.
  • Use a well-draining potting mix designed for container-grown trees.
  • Provide regular water and nutrients, as container plants may dry out more quickly than those planted in the ground.

Growing Gem avocado trees can be a rewarding endeavor, yielding a bountiful harvest of rich and creamy avocados. By providing the right growing conditions, proper care, and attention to pollination requirements, you can enjoy the delectable fruits of your labor from mid-spring through early fall.

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.

For more information, please enjoy our Resource Guide for planting and growing avocado trees.

Orders are sent to the grower as soon as the purchase is made. All sales are final.

NOTE: Order by Thursday to ship the following Wednesday*. Avocados cannot ship with other potted trees. *Avocados cannot ship during periods of very cold or very hot temperatures, therefore shipment of your trees will depend on the weather in your area. Avocado trees cannot be delayed to ship.

These are evergreen trees and thus the dormant bare root guarantee does not apply. Your trees will arrive in good, viable condition. Contact us immediately if they do not.

First Rate Office Printer.
Style: WF-4830, Set: DUAL TRAY (500 sheets)/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
This is the second Epson product that we have owned. The previous model was still working after 8 years of dependable service when we replaced it. We tried to move up to an Eco Tank model that we purchased locally. The unit would not connect to our wireless network, so we returned it to the store and purchased this model from Amazon. The overall quality of the output is just as good or even a little better than our old model. This unit is quite a bit faster that our old unit. The unit was also reduced by 34%, making an excellent buy. The jury is still out if it will be good in the ink usage department. Our old unit seemed to need a new cartridge every other week, I would purchased this model again,

Love & Hate at the same time
Style: WF-4830, Set: DUAL TRAY (500 sheets)/FAX/ADF/PRINT/COPY/SCAN
I installed, connected to the internet, everything was smooth and the 1st day I printed doc, scanned, sent air etc etc etc, and it was working absolutely great. Next day started asking to perform updates, then it was disconnected to the air computer, I couldn't scan, I connected a cable directly and it didn't work either, becae a nightmare and as last resource, I had to scan through a usb device and then connect to the computer back and forth. Then next days, it was always for updates, downloading more date on my computer as well update the printer, it is like they are spying everything you do with a printer, I just want to use it to print/scan/copy documents or any other info, if it is working just find the 1st day, why these companies begin with harassing the buyer with all these daily updates or connecting hundreds of things to make it work. It was much easier in the past, you just install the program of the printer with a CD and that was it! I had one of those printers before this one and it worked for 12 consecutive years with NO PROBLEMS whatsoever. And the last problem is that IS NOT WORKING AT ALL, I had to stored the printer computer and all my office equipment for 6 months and I plugged in everything and the printer asked for new cartridges, I took them out and they are still full of ink, my fingers completely colored & stained are witnesses & now it says use Epson Support code error 031006 ?!?!?!?!?! There is not a web/ph/any kind of information where do I need to go, I barely use the printer at all, it still has some of the protection plastic and it is already damaged. What a pain. Seriously they should at least add who or where we can ask for help. Now AGAIN buying a new printer because for sure EPSON IS NOT GOING TO HELP ME :((((
