These avocado leaves are the larger-leaf option in The Bio Dude’s Colombian line — twenty substantial leaves that shelter the cleanup crew, feed the soil and make the whole build look like somewhere an animal actually lives. Like all of The Bio Dude’s Colombian leaf litter, these leaves are pre-boiled, baked and dried, harvested ethically from the Colombian rainforest, and guaranteed free of contaminants.
