Avoid soggy conditions—raised beds or mounds help in areas with poor drainage. Water deeply and regularly while establishing, then reduce to moderate watering. Prune to maintain height and airflow, especially in smaller spaces. Feed with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Lula is a Type A flower, but can produce well on its own—though yields improve with a Type B pollinator nearby (like ‘Brogdon’ or ‘Winter Mexican’). Our mature grafted trees in 3 gallon pots begin fruiting within 1 year.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sow Exotic","offers":[{"title":"X-Large Burlap Pot","offer_id":46008187257028,"sku":"C2a-AVO-LUL-XL","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5971\/6548\/files\/Screenshot2025-07-189.00.23AM.png?v=1775053206","url":"https:\/\/shop.soil911.com\/products\/avocado-lula-persia-americana","provider":"Tampa Home \u0026 Garden Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
