Avocado Tree 'Little Cado' aka 'Wurtz' (Persea americana)

One of the best avocados for containers or small yards, 'Little Cado' only grows 8-10' tall when planted in the garden or it can be kept shorter with pruning for container growing. This dwarf variety, also known as 'Wurtz,' is self-pollinating and easy to grow. The mid-size, pear-shaped fruit are creamy and delicious and rich in healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. The fruit ripens from summer to fall, and you can pick it before it’s fully ripe and ripen on the counter in your kitchen. 'Little Cado' generally starts fruiting a couple years after planting. This heavy-bearing variety is a popular choice for home gardeners and container growers for its exceptional flavor and compact growth habit.
