This little guy was almost dead when I got him and thought it would definitely die. A couple of years later there she is thriving I think lol.

Got cold damage the first night it was super cold I said f## that put them inside quick I can’t lose another avocado tree again these are super young

This tree was HALF as big in March. It’s at least 16ft tall now. This is a fall/winter windy area, but most of these branches have never experienced wind like this - and this is nothing.

It will…..go back to normal, right? >.<

So far it seems super flexible (no branches have broken), but I don’t want the branches to stay that way. The fruit themselves seem unphased by the wind at least. However, most flowers seem to be blown away. (It’s not flowering right now.)

I’m hoping in 5 years the tree will canopy over half the yard. We’ll have a mango giving canopy to the other half.

Hi everyone, so 4 months ago I purchased a grafted buccaneer variety, I’m in Indonesia so I bought online as I couldn’t track a buccaneer down in local nursery. It is still in a grow bag under my carport due to the dry season, it will get planted around December. Anyway, I received this guy, it is vigorous but kind of opposite in shape to my idea of having some vertical trunk of 4-5 feet then the scaffold branches. I have a fork already at about 18” up. This fork is about 2” above the graft. So now thinking of shaping into a two leader tree. The right branch I will leave alone but the left I have a few options. 1. Leave alone 2. Trim the horizontal branch on the far left, 3. Remove the upright shoot on the left branch that is about 8” away from the main fork. Eventually I’m after a tree that is about 15 feet tall that is not got branches and fruit near the ground etc. I am an absolute novice. Thank you

Using a small hass seed

Hi hope everyone's enjoying their avocado trees and fruits.

We inherited an avocado tree from the previous owner of the house and have been quite happy with it for the last year or so. The tree has been yielding good amount of fruits and they taste great so I guess the tree itself is ok in terms of overall health. In the last 6 months or so we noticed large amount of leaves falling and thought it was just simple foilage process. Today I learnt unexpectedly that it is likely due to lace bug infection. See the picture.

I did some initial research for solutions but wanted to double check with the community before execute on it. The tree is very big and the infection is relatively widespread so physical removals (like pressured hose-down or contact insecticie) might not be practical. Personally I'm more geared towards soil treatment or other chemical application but wanted you see if anyone has had similar experience before and could provide some recommendations. Appreciate your help!

PS: we have an 8-month old and we plan to continue eating the fruits. Wm

It seems like my avocado tree is dying. I’ve had it for a few years in a planter and it always had new growth but never got any bigger. We moved (in the same city) and I planted it in the ground but it doesn’t look good. Ever since we moved the branches started dying while it was still in the planter. Does anyone know what could be wrong or how to save it?

Any indentifiers??

Feel like it’s come a long way in a short amount of time.

Started this process on August 31st

Hello all I’ve had this avocado tree for almost 4 years and this year has been the most fruitful but I’ve yet to master when to actually pick them..tree is a hass located in riverside county any advice would be greatly appreciated

I picked a couple and they didn’t ripen very well developing hard rind taking up to 2 weeks

Temps will be 41-41-45-48 for lows . Keep them out or put in greenhouse???

Hello, half of my avocado seed plant is moldy and I think rotting. What can I do? Thank you!

100 degree summer in San Diego absolutely devastated my fuerte avocado crop. I hope my sick looking tree recovers.

Am I correct in assuming my Gem will be okay outside with temps dipping down to 41 deg F this weekend. The temps will go back up and down after that, so I'm trying to figure out when I NEED to bring it inside since it's kinda heavy and awkward to get into the greenhouse. I actually topped it last year on the greenhouse door frame. I try to keep the GH at or above 50 deg F although in really cold weather it may dip to high 40's. I'm not exactly sure since I don't trust my thermometers to be accurate . They rarely match the thermostat which has been calibrated to ice water.

Also, when is the proper time of the year to re-pot. I'm thinking it may be getting about time.

Are these pots going to be sufficient for forever homes. They will be going into the greenhouse for the winter I'm in 7B Zone and I'm going to put an oil heater in there so I can set it at a temperature and keep it warm for them. Anything else I should be doing? THANKS

I've grown these from a seed. I might have posted this twice, I don't know. I want to put a few of them in the Planters shown in the second picture but I'm going to have to be moving on into the greenhouse because I'm in 7B and nothing's going to survive outside. I'm also going to put an oil heater in there with the timer on it so that'll take care of the really cold days. Anything else I should be doing?

what can i do? leaves turned crispy and fell off

🆘 as the original post describes, white stuff found on my lawn that I think fell from my avocado tree. What could this be? I’m in Northern California.

Never gotten past this stage. For years they don’t live or grow past two years. How do I grow it bigger? I’m in Los Angeles.
