While there isn’t a great single resource for growing avocados at home, the best of what’s available is a handbook written for commercial farmers that is edited by Gary Bender, former farm advisor in San Diego County. He taught my Master Gardener class on avocados, and he really knows his stuff.

The handbook is split into two parts:

Book 1 discusses avocado history, botany, variety selection and planting.

Book 2 discusses irrigation, diseases and pruning.
