From Chris

We have a large batch of avocado trees ready to plant. They are variety Hass and stand about 1.4-1.6m tall in a 250mm pot. The trees have slowly matured during this mild spring and will now plant out well. But please follow our GreenSheet carefully and be sure to prepare the soil as described with three bags of our special compost. The trees must have a good tree guard wrapped in shade cloth to keep the wind off. Put a shade cover over the tree after Christmas to keep the leaves from burning. Never let the tree dry out and fertilize well with Rustica fertilizer.
