Brighter Blooms - Cold Hardy Avocado Tree, 2-3 ft. - No Shipping to AK, AZ, HI, OR

My first impression is great. It was packaged well. no any damage avocado tree was little bit taller then I expected and did not have many leaves. I think that is normal. I keep it indoor for now but will take it to patio a week later. If it survive on winter with a fair growth i will be back and share the images. So far so good. ... It has been almost 10 months now. I kept it indoor and plant did good. I made a mistake and watered too much. After taking care it, leaves and stems got bigger. Did not see flowers yet. I did not take it out and tree did not see direct sun so definetely that limits its growth. ... now it has been another 6 months and finally i sew it flowering. Main stem is tbicker and new branches are so healty. It did not became taller but this is ok for me. I keep it indoor so i dont want too tall.

It was big and full when it arrived but the leaves fell off when the season changed. I brought it inside and used a small grow light and am happy to say that it's thriving! Covered in new growth, not just up , it's filling out completely.

Because an Avocado tree is a little pricey, I prepared well for the planting. I researched everything it needed to give it its best shot at thriving. It arrived with leaves mostly brown but the roots looked moist, so I assumed it was a little shock from shipping. Within a week the leaves were completely brown. I continued to take care of the tree in hopes it would still come back but the limbs and trunk eventually became brittle and lifeless. Disappointed that it didn’t work out.

I ordered a 4-5 ft tree and received a healthy, beautiful 5.5” ft avocado tree with nice branching. It was stressed from transit and I expect it to recuperate beautifully. I was ecstatic about this tree until I noticed that there are fungal spores on the leaves, and that it arrived already combatting an infection. I will be treating it with a copper based fungicide, but due to the nature of this disease it should be presumed that any other avocado trees in this greenhouse may also be infected. It is a common and treatable condition but can be persistent if you’re not on top of treating your plants. Be aware that you may have to fight this fungal infection off if you buy this plant, but that the growers do produce beautiful trees.

The tree arrived and the box was in good shape, packaging that retained dirt and moisture was in tact and the tree was at least as tall as they stated and it looked healthy - as in there were even new buds in several places. My wife is the gardener and we have a temp controlled sun-room with many similar plants so our environment was kept about as perfect as it could be. Unfortunately, after 3 weeks of intensive care, it just never came to life. The new looking buds had dried out and there was no sign of growth. I can only assume it was left in a very cold area for an extended time or possibly in a very hot place. Regardless, I was impressed with the packaging and tree - the vendor is allowing a refund so I'll be ordering a new tree and hope to have a successful update in the future.

The tree arrived in perfect condition. It was wrapped well and didn't have any sign of disease or bugs. I received it a couple weeks ago and gave it a really good watering. I just repotted it this week. Doesn't seem to require a lot of water and it is already sprouting leaves like crazy. I'm so excited for my first avocado even though I know it won't be this year. Couldn't be happier. I am thinking about purchasing another tree from this company. Top notch.

I spent a lot of time and effort preparing the planting site for the Three Gallon Avocado Tree. Due to clay soil conditions near my home, I deliberately prepared the hole at least four times larger and twice as deep as the planting instructions for the tree. I purchased garden soil and peat moss for the planting. The instructions say to separate the root ball before planting. However, the 3 gallon plastic container had a small root ball compared to the pot. The rest of the container was filled with loose potting soil. I tried calling the seller “Brighter Blooms” many times over a two day period to speak with their “Plant Specialists”, at all times of the day. All you get is a message that “this call may be recorded “ and then it hangs up after 5 minutes. The avocado tree that consists of a 3 1/2 foot, 1/2” diameter stick with barely any roots. The seller contacted me and has resolved the issue to my satisfaction. I am happy they took the initiative to make thing right!

I read all the reviews about how the tree didn't do well and how it had fungus but I decided to purchase it anyway. I went ahead and bought a heavy duty rolling plant stand a Safer fungicide (I only use Safer products on my garden) just incase I needed it on arrival. It arrived on 4/18 and I followed the instructions to let it aclimate to my home for 2 weeks. I placed it in a very sunny room and bought the size of pot the instructions suggested then I went to my local nursery and got the potting soil they recommended. The leaves had black spots as a stressed plant will but no white fungus looking sopts so no need for the Safer. For the last couple of weeks it has lost all of the leaves it arrived with but I have many new leaves budding out and it is now warm enough to hang out on the patio where it will live spring, summer and fall. I'm very pleased and I think one of their lemon trees will be my next purchase.
