SOIL TYPES and LOCATION Back To: Menu BarAvocado can be grown on a wide range of soil types, but requires good drainage as it does not withstand waterlogging. Annual rainfall of 50 inches that is well distributed over the year is adequate. Poor drainage and soil pH of less than 6.2 are favorable conditions for the development of Phytophthora root rot.Areas with high winds are undesirable because avocado wood is brittle and flowers and fruits may be damaged. Areas along the shoreline are also undesirable because avocado trees are sensitive to sodium chloride (salt).In Hawaii, Guatemalan and Mexican races and their hybrids can be grown up to elevations of approximately 2000 to 2500 feet. Pure Mexican varieties which are rarely grown in Hawaii can be grown up to the frost line. The West Indian variety produces better quality fruits when it is grown below 1000 feet.
