Q&A – I have avocado trees that are too tall to bring in for winter. How can I help them survive?

Question:
I have avocado trees that are too tall to bring in for winter. How can I help them survive?
​
Answer:

In the United States avocados are grown in extreme south California and Florida. Retired UT Extension Agent Mike Dennison says they don’t like cool or cold weather and they probably won’t survive a Tennessee winter. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper gives some recommendations for helping them survive an extremely mild winter.
