Growing Avocado Trees in a Hot Desert Climate | Update

So many of us dream of picking a fresh creamy delicious avocado fruit from our backyard tree. I'm one of them! This is not a fruit tree to start with as a new gardener and is among the most difficult to successfully grow. Avocados may be a nice addition if you are up for the challenge and have an established garden with shaded micro-climates. This is an update video on the 4 avocado varieties growing in my USDA zone 9B Phoenix Arizona area yard. I cover what has worked and has not when growing these subtropical fruit trees in a hot dry climate (highs up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit). Topics covered include: planting, mulch, irrigation, fertilization, microclimate, shade, and soil composition. I'm growing: Bacon, Day, Gem, and Wurtz.
