Irrigation Requirements

From LagunaHillsNursery.com Word doc on Avocados:

"Avocado trees require average to ample water. Most orchards are irrigated daily during warm weather with micro sprinklers. The soil moisture should be maintained at 12-18 inches of depth and at least half of the soil under the canopy should be irrigated.

In coastal valleys of San Diego County it has been found that a young tree 4 feet tall and wide uses about 1 gallon of water per day in summer. A mature tree 20 feet tall and wide uses about 40 gallons of water per day. "
