Avocado Seeds - Brown

Brown avocado seeds produce an evergreen tree with an upright to spreading growth habit, adapted to warm and subtropical climates. This variety is suitable for home gardens, backyard plantings, and small orchard settings where winters are mild and frost exposure is limited. The tree establishes best in well-drained soils and benefits from consistent moisture during early growth. Brown avocado trees are typically cultivated as long-term plantings and can be grown in-ground or in large planting areas where space allows.
