CITRUS and AVOCADOS 
Young Citrus and Avocado trees need protection of bark from hot 
sun until they are shaded by their own foliage. Use a white cold 
water paint or whitewash. It is also necessary to portect them from 
frost the first few years. Build a frame and cover them loosely 
with cloth or burlap, allowing plenty of air circulation from below. 
All are balled and burlapped. 
AVOCADO 
Avocados today are no longer a mere rare delicacy, but an everyday food 
item. Moreover, the trees are valued for their deep, cool shade. We offer 
especially hardy varieties.
