Wurtz Avocado
The Wurtz Avocado, also known as the "Little Cado," is a popular dwarf avocado variety, known for its rich, creamy texture and mild, buttery flavour. This medium-sized fruit features smooth, dark green skin that remains green when ripe, making it perfect for fresh eating, spreading on toast, and adding to salads or smoothies. The Wurtz Avocado tree is a compact and slower-growing variety, ideal for smaller gardens, patios, and even container growing, offering a steady supply of delicious homegrown avocados. It produces a generous harvest from late autumn to early winter, providing a consistent yield during the cooler months. The tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a great choice for home gardeners looking for an easy-to-manage avocado tree. It is a self-fertile variety, but planting it alongside another avocado variety can enhance fruit production.

As recommended by the Swiss Rose Garden Nursery.
- Dig a hole 60cm wide and 60cm deep. If the topsoil is usable, separate it from the sand as it can be re-used in the hole. When planting roses in an existing rose bed or where roses have been previously grown during the last 5 years, the soil must be replaced.
- Mix together a mixture that contains 2 parts topsoil, 2 parts compost, 1 part manure or buy a Soil Improver, Landscaping or Rose Soil mix from a Landscape supply place. About 100 litres per planting hole is recommended.
- A layer of manure can be placed at the bottom of the hole and then the hole filled with the above soil mix.
- Place one handful of slow-release fertilizer at 20cm depth from the top where the roots of the newly planted rose will be situated.
- Soak the soil thoroughly and lightly compact.
- Now plant the rose in this mix with the surface of the plant even with the surface of the prepared area, e.g., the graft union should be about 5 to 10 cm above soil level.
- Water every day for the first six months from October onwards, up to 10 litres per day during warm weather is recommended for strong deep root development.
- Plant roses 1m to 1.2m apart.
Enjoy the beautiful roses!
