Where should I plant my avocado tree?
i have a Bacon Avocado tree that’s ready tomolant in the ground. The info I’ve gotten from online and nursery’s is somewhat conflicting. Can anyone please tell me are they safe to plant about 3 metres away from the house? Is there risk of roots damaging foundations? Thank you so much! ✌🏼

3 meters away from the house is not far enough. These trees can get HUGE! Yes, if planted too close to any structure, the roots can damage anything in its path, including water and sprinkler lines. Choose your site very very carefully. I am in southern CA with commercial growers nearby. Here are some sites to help you out!

Bacon avocados are one of my favorites. Even though I live in the midst of avocado land, bacons are hard to find commercially. Typically sold by grower at small markets and farm stands. I can't get enough of them.
Thank you so much! I’m in Australia, the south east end of the country. But I’ll check out the sites anyway. Thanks again ✌🏼
Ok Jo! Found you some Australia specific sites! See what you can do with these . . .

Again, consider the mature height and width of the tree, let that be your guide when choosing the right spot to plant the tree. I am jealous as my yard is too small. 🤗😎
