Avocado are there in cultivation? Did you know that there are hundreds of them? You probably thought there were only 2 kinds - black and green?

You may not realize is that this basic (but practical!) classification doesn't encompass all the wonderful qualities avocados have to offer.

There are numerous hybrids in cultivation, and once you plant your first tree and taste the REAL fruit (not from the grocery store), you'll be eager to explore other varieties. It's a guarantee! While it's true that avocado fruit can vary in "butter" content, most superior varieties are equally delicious.

This Avocado Variety Guide helps to choose the right variety for you. With its interactive tool, you can sort cultivars by fruit shape and quality, cold hardiness, origin, crop season, flower type A or B, tree habit and more.

Why is Davidia called Handkerchief (Dove) Tree? This one from Germany is one of the most unusual plants you ever see!

🕊 Why is Davidia called Handkerchief (Dove) Tree? This one from Germany is one of the most unusual plants you ever see!

This spectacular tree is Davidia, also called Dove Tree, Ghost Tree, Handkerchief Tree. It is growing in Germany - not so tropical, but still the most beautiful!

🧺 Handkerchief Tree earns its nickname due to the unique appearance of its flowers. The tree produces large, white bracts that hang down in a manner resembling handkerchiefs or, more poetically, like delicate lace handkerchiefs swaying in the breeze. These bracts surround the actual flowers of the tree, which are small and inconspicuous. The sight of the tree in bloom, with its "handkerchiefs" fluttering in the wind, is truly captivating and has led to the endearing nickname.

How to water a newly planted Mango tree?

🥭 How to water a newly planted Mango tree?

Never rely solely on your sprinkler system when planting a new tree, especially during the first week or even several weeks if you have no rain. By rain, we mean a nice downpour. Here in Florida, we usually have a hot and dry spring, and while springtime is great for starting new trees, additional hose-watering becomes essential for establishing them during the first months.
