Dwarf Grafted 'Littler Cado' (Wurtz) Tree - True Dwarf Avocado Variety
The Wurtz avocado tree, sometimes referred to as Little Cado, is the only true dwarf variety of avocado and will consistently produce good fruit from May to September. Compared to other avocado trees, which can grow up to 80 feet, a Wurtz avocado tree grows to about 10 feet. Due to its small size, the Wurtz avocado tree can be grown in a large container (such as a half wine barrel) and is a good option for smaller front and back yards. The Wurtz avocado is a hybrid created from the Mexican and Guatemalan avocado species, and produces abundant fruits within one to two years of planting if it is a grafted tree, grown in the right conditions and properly taken care of. This is the best Avocado variety for containers. While the Wurtz avocado tree can tolerate temperatures as low as 25 degrees F, it should be kept in a heated environment as much as possible with protection against tough winds and frost. **You are purchasing a grafted avocado tree equivalent in size to the one pictured.
