Properties and uses:
The Avocado 'Ettinger' produces fairly elongated avocados.
In the regions with mild winters, it is possible to plant it in full ground, with a protection against wind and frost. In the other regions, it is safer to plant it in a pot placed indoor or in a conservatory. Then it can spend the summer outside in its pot. The avocado appreciates water, mainly during its growth. But stagnant water is to be avoided between two waterings, because it can damage the roots.
It is a Type B avocado; to maximize production, a Type A avocado tree should be planted nearby. The most famous one is the ‘Hass’.
