Giant Sloth Orchard

🥑 Avocado Growing Notes 🌿

• 🥑 sharwill N, greengold SE, malama SW.
• 🥑 plant right away, match pot depth.
• 🥑 clear grass double hole radius, mulch but not on the trunk.
• 🥑 prune at a shoot that is pointing in the desired direction.
• 🥑 the canopy should create a bowl with equal thirds.
• 🥑 heading, not topping.
• 🥑 important to remove all shoots on the graft rootstock.
• 🥑 malama is a second graft that will eventually overtake the slower greengold.
• 🥑 sharwil's fruit lasts longer on the tree, ok to let it have a little extra growth.

🏝️ Located on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaiʻi (Hawaiʻi Island), Giant Sloth Orchard is a small tropical farm specializing in exotic food trees and plants. Nestled in the rich volcanic soils of Holualoa, we grow rare and delicious tropical fruits, herbs, and spices to nourish our ʻohana and share the bounty of Hawaiʻi's incredible growing climate.

🌋 Our farm benefits from the unique microclimate of the Kona district, where cool mountain breezes meet warm Pacific air, creating perfect conditions for tropical agriculture. The mineral-rich volcanic soil, combined with consistent rainfall and year-round growing seasons, allows us to cultivate varieties that thrive nowhere else on Earth.

🍫 Giant sloths love cacao. We support the delicate balance of the forest. Our food is of the gods. Not incidental in FishDivine evolution, we decide which fruits thrive as tastier, more nutritious, multivariate delights. We are aware of our stereotype, but unvexed, with ease, we deliberately follow our noses with curiosity...ever seeking theobroma.
