Best Answer

A balanced complete fertilizer is the best fertilizer for avocado trees (Persea spp).

Specifically, avocado trees benefit from equal intakes of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. They therefore favor balanced complete fertilizer. A complete fertilizer has all three of the macronutrients nitrogen, phosophorus and potassium. A complete fertilizer is balanced when the percentage weights of the macronutrient ingredients are equal, such as in 10-10-10 fertilizer.

You can buy fertilizer that is specifically for avocados at the store. If you can't find one that is for avocados then use one for lemon/lime trees, they are totally different plants but they need the same things from a fertilizer.

A fertilizer that is high in nitrogen is what is best for olive trees (Olea europea).

Specifically, olive trees accept a variety of soils and growing conditions. They are not needy for fertilizer. But they benefit from inorganic or organic fertilizers that are high in nitrogen. In terms of inorganic fertilizers, they flourish under applications of ammonium nitrate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium sulfate, calcium nitrate, potassium nitrate and urea. In terms of organic fertilizers, they handle blood or feather meal.
