Persea
Persea comprise a genus of subtropical and tropical evergreen trees in the family of Laurels. The Latin name of the genus was used all the way back in Ancient Greece by Theophrastus and Hippocrates, who applied it to an uncertain Egyptian tree. The entire persea genus is characterized by oval, smooth evergreen leaves, and branches that usually remain green for many years before becoming corky.

Water: Persea thrives in subtropical habitats, showing moderate drought tolerance. It prefers well-draining soil with balanced moisture. Watering should occur every 1-2 weeks, allowing soil to partially dry. Mulching helps retain moisture, especially in warmer climates where persea is often cultivated outdoors.
Propagation: Propagation of persea is primarily through seed sowing and cuttings, requiring warm temperatures, high humidity, and well-draining soil. For cuttings, select a healthy branch, prepare it, and maintain moisture. Special care is needed for seed cleaning and stratification in cold climates.
