Overview

The Persea americana 'Little Cado' is a dwarf avocado cultivar ideal for limited spaces, reaching about 10-15 feet high. Its compact form supports generous yields of medium-sized, buttery fruit sans a partner due to self-pollination. Preferring well-drained soil, it thrives in full sun to partial shade. Under optimal conditions, Little Cado tolerates down to 30°F. Regular watering and occasional feeding promote robust health. USDA Zones 8-11.
