Avocado plant population
- Typical range: 70 to 200 trees per acre
- Example spacing: 20 ft between rows and 20 ft between plants
Triangular (hexagonal) spacing fits about 15 % more trees than square spacing at the same distance: at 20 feet, about 126 trees per acre instead of 109.
The "germination" percentage here stands for establishment: order a few extra trees to replace any that fail.
These are reference values and change with variety, management and region. For your field, check the seed company recommendation or your local extension service.
