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.

A Must-Have Emergency Kit for Every Vehicle, Especially ATVs!
I recently bought this 54PCS Flat Tire Repair Kit with Air Compressor, and I’m seriously impressed. It’s one of those products you hope you won’t need—but are SO glad to have when the time comes. I used it on my ATV after catching a sharp rock on the trail, and it saved the day. The plug worked perfectly, and the air compressor had my tire reinflated in just a few minutes. What I really love is how complete the kit is. From cars and motorcycles to trucks and tractors, it’s got everything you need to handle a flat. The tools are solid and durable, and the case keeps everything neatly organized. It’s compact enough to toss in the back of my truck or ATV storage box without taking up too much space. If you ride ATVs in remote areas like I do, this kit is a no-brainer. It gives you peace of mind and saves you from having to hike back to civilization. Highly recommended!

Kept it in my trunk for months — used it once and it saved me
I’ve had this AUTOWN tire repair kit sitting in the trunk for several months as a “just in case” thing. I have only had to use it once, but the tools and compressor held up and it actually helped me get out of a bad spot where I didn’t have a spare tire available. Just to be clear, I wouldn’t call this a permanent fix. It’s more of an emergency repair to get you back on the road. In my case it did exactly that. Afterward, I went to a nearby tire shop and had the tire repaired the right way. Overall, I’m really glad I had it in the car. Just using it once has already paid for itself.

Saves time and money
Size: 47pcs, Size: 47pcs
I used this kit to fix a flat tire on one of my lawn tractors from a roofing nail. I used the smallest size (blue vial) and the supplied Phillips screwdriver to screw it in after applying a dab of rubber adhesive. Then I waited about 30 minutes to inflate the tire. The only thing missing from this kit is a set of pliers to pull out any nails or screws, so provide your own if you will be carrying this in your vehicle for roadside use. There are three sizes of screws, and they are steel (I expected that they would be plastic or rubber). The steel will have increased durability. The blue vials contain the smallest screws, the pink contain the medium, and the white contain the largest screws. The screws have some sort of pre-applied rubbery stuff on the threads that I believe helps them stick to the rubber with the supplied rubber adhesive. This kit is easy to use and is a great value for the amount of flat tires you can fix on your own versus the work, time, and money it takes to go to a tire shop. The black look of the screws camouflages the repair, just make sure you screw in the plug far enough into the tire that it won't contact the road or it will eventually wear off the black finish.

Tiny Tire Saver Kit
Size: 47pcs
I really like this 47 piece tire repair kit, it feels solid in my hand and the pieces aren’t flimsy at all. The rubber nails are a good size, not too bulky, and the whole set is lightweight enough to keep in the car without adding clutter. The black color looks clean and professional, and the glue works faster than I expected. For the cost, it feels like a smart buy because you get a lot of pieces and it can handle car, truck, or even motorcycle tires. It gave me peace of mind knowing I can fix a flat quickly on my own.
