Avocado

Persea americana

أفوكادو

A handsome broad-leaved evergreen that has become genuinely productive along the Lebanese coast. Roots are shallow and easily damaged, so it wants a permanent, undisturbed position from the start.

Blooming season: Spring
Flower colour: Greenish
Fruiting and harvest: Varies by variety, autumn through spring
How to care: Full sun with shelter from wind, in soil that drains exceptionally freely; avocado is extremely intolerant of waterlogging and root rot is the usual cause of failure. Water frequently but never leave the roots sitting wet, and mulch generously while keeping mulch off the trunk. Avoid digging around the base. Feed through spring and summer. Protect from frost, particularly in the first three years.

Available in small, medium. Exact pot size and plant height are confirmed when we reply to your order.

Sweet Orange

Citrus sinensis

The orange that built the Lebanese coast. Sweet, thin-skinned fruit on a compact evergreen that flowers white and scents an entire courtyard in spring. Best below about 700m, where winter cold stays gentle.

Lemon

Citrus limon

A lemon tree earns its space twice over: heavy scent when it flowers, and fruit through the coldest months when the rest of the garden has stopped giving. Happy in open ground along the coast and in a large pot anywhere the winter turns sharp.

Mandarin

Citrus reticulata

Easy-peeling, intensely fragrant, and the first citrus most Lebanese children learn to pick themselves. Naturally smaller than an orange tree, which makes it the citrus to choose for a courtyard or a large terrace pot.
