Avocado Trees in Portugal blog start

Posted by João Gonçalves over 11 years ago

The objective of this blog is to make visible relevant information for the cultivation of avocado trees from the north to the south of Portugal.

http://abacateportugal.blogspot.pt/

This is a beginning, looking for the collaboration of all who are passionate about Avocado Trees in Portugal.

Recently, i have witnessed people growing Avocado Trees, with trees already fruiting, both in the South/Alentejo and central-north of Portugal/Beira-Litoral. In both cases the trees were planted on hill tops.

I have also started growing a few trees in Chao Sobral (whose windy and cooler climate favors tree crops like cherries, apples, pears and sweet chestnut) and i've planted them inside a greenhouse. Soon, i'll be planting and seeding a few against a schist terrace wall in a site with a special microclimate that will protect these trees from the winter icy winds.
