Customer Reviews for Alder & Oak 5 Gal. Hass Avocado Evergreen Tree

This a small avocado tree, the branch is not even an ince thick - few leaves were brown cut them off bucket size is not a 5 gallon n more 2.5 gallon as its label

Home Depot had the tree at a good price but alder&oak who shipped it were very unresponsive to helping with water logged pot and droopy leaves. Called and they promised to speak with associates and get back to me. THEY DID NOT!! In fact they sent my follow up email back to me without responding. I was just looking for some suggestions. The tree is ok now no thanks to them. Will not buy from them again if that is how they treat their customers!

Great hass avocado tree for containers I currently have mine in sun and shade in a 22.5 gallon container.When it arrived the avocado tree lost some of its leaves but I would say the temperature has been a rollercoaster since the start of spring here on the west coast of California the Central Valley.But overall I would recommend this avocado tree to everyone especially for containers.Currently the hass avocado tree has a lot of flowers on it also a few small avocados fruit that has begun to grow.I’ve had this tree 3 weeks almost 1 month so far so good.These plants in the box that it comes in are very sensitive to damage be very careful when opening the box only open the box from the side but correct side not from bottom or top because it can damage the plant.

Tree was in bad shape when arrived. Six months and very little growth. I don’t like the way it looks and will return it.

The avocado tree already looked very sad and wilted when I removed it from the shipping box. I carefully repotted it and placed it in a sunny but not too hot spot on my patio. I watered it but made sure to not overwater it. Regardless, all of its leaves turned brown and fell off. Now I’m left with just a stem and I’m waiting to see if it can possibly bounce back. Very disappointing! Do not recommend

My tree looked like it went through some pretty hard times before I received it. For starters, the box it came in was smashed on two sides.......The seed that this tree is growing from is at least half above the soil around it...........I'm not sure if that is good or bad, time will probably tell. I looked on the Home Depot website and found-out that other trees like this one is 'un-available', so I am trying to save this one from sure death. It's still green and seems to be living, even though the two little branches and leaves look a little tired. I've added Miracle Gro soil to the top of the original container and water it with a half-quart of water every three days. There is one leaf at the top that I have been watching carefully to monitor growth. As long as this tree stays green, I'll continue to save it as best as I can. I've had for about a month now and I hope it survives. The temperatures haven't dropped below 40 degrees overnight so that's a big plus. I believe H.D. guarantees trees for a year, I hope this one makes it, it didn't look very healthy from the 'get-go'. I have it located right next to the same breed of avocado tree that I got about two months ago, and they are both still in there original pots. The first tree is blooming like crazy and bees visit it everyday. I only hope that this second tree starts showing some promise. I plan to move both of these trees to ten gallon pots soon. Please check back with me in a month or so for a progress report. We'll see how this anemic tree survives or not. Thanks for asking about this poor little tree.

No, they did not meet my expectations at all. They were in very poor condition and I don’t know if they are going to survive or not.

The tree arrived in excellent condition with beautiful green leaves. I planted it the same day and it seems to be thriving in my garden.

Would not purchase this again. If it makes it for a month or two I will be surprised as it has no leaves and looks half dead. It was only 26 inch high. Not worth the money and no way to return or get refund.

It came halfway destroyed. The branch on the top was broken. I brought it back to life, but, It almost died and it was not a good experience

The tree had barely any leaves left and the ones that were left were not nice looking.

Looked great upon arrival but upon repotting the Fuente appeared to be suffering from root rot. Both are still droopy three weeks later. Don't think they will survive

Bought the Hass and Zutano and both arrived quickly and looked really good. The bottom of the shipping box needed some help but our UPS driver was extra careful and made sure the bottom didn't fall out. The next day the UPS driver stopped by and was impressed with the look of these two trees. They were a little droopy when delivered but perked up in a couple of days.

It came with a nice size trunk and I will know in a few years if it meets my expectations. :)

Excellent ? tree it is growing well very good service

These trees were delivered they were some of the best looking trees I have purchased. I recommend getting on the alert list for availability for next year. This is how I was able to get these beautiful trees in January. Great choice ?

They showed up root bound, moldy, and all of the leaves fell of of one of them and it died. 100% do not recommend.

The trees are very nice, started making new leaves in about a week, I would recommend these as a great value

They came pretty beat up with many leaves damaged. Many more have fallen off since I received them. I feel as if they sent damaged ones as they were shipped. I went to the local store and saw much nicer and larger for the same price.

So far so good it's hard to tell how good it will do since it's only been a month. I hope I get some fruit within a year or so.

I'm gonna rate your system very poor as you are asking to rate a plant that is in ground only couple of days and actually takes many years to fruit.
