How cold does it get where you live? What kind of Avocado?

I'm afraid that the avocado won't grow outside in the UK. It probably would do well in a greenhouse there. It might be able to go outside for the summer, but your winters would kill it. I can't grow them in my Arizona or New Mexico environments, and we're much warmer.

Avocado is a tropical species plant and should be maintained in temps that stay above 50 degrees F.

Depending upon the origin of the Avocado, they are hardy down to Zone 8 or so.

We grew them in California, Zone 8, with great success.
