Arguably, I could use two more support poles for maximum help. But the heaviest branches are already supported well enough.

Lost half of my avocado tree. Trying to save the other half. Is this tree still salvageable?

​

I bought about 30 trees so far and still need about 20 more. I went from cutting down trees for more space, did a fire where i would plant these trees so the ground could decontaminate without any quimics or fertilizer then planted my tress with a scope of carbo just so they could start off strong. I did want to put lima to clean the dirt also but i dont know maybe on the next trees I buy so i can experiment with diferente methods.

Hi All,

I planted this Hass in December, we've had some ups and down, but it certainly seems to be struggling now. Would love to hear the advice of this subreddit.

Here's is a rough timeline:

December: Obtained tree from nursery. Approx 5’ tall, bushy leaves, in pot. Planted in mound.

December - March: Tree developed some flowers, but dropped nearly all leaves.

March: replanted tree to new location, similar soil and mound. (Had to replant due to issue with tree located on an easement)

April: All original leaves dropped. But many new leaf buds observed throughout tree.

May: New leaf buds open, healthy leaf growth all over the tree, though leaves are still small.

Late May: Approx half of leaf growth observed to stop. Many growth sites seemingly wilted, and many leaves are dropped. I read this could possibly be due to excessive heat and sun, so I whitewashed tree following this.

Late May - now: no new growth sites observed, remaining leaves don't seem to be growing much.

I'm in zone 10b, the tree is watered every 4 days via the bubbler in the pic for approx a half hour each time.

(Bonus picture of my fuerte that I planted + replanted at the same time. It seems to be doing well)

I’m new to gardening and started this avocado from a seed a couple months ago. It’s been growing a lot in the past couple weeks and I want to get some care tips to keep in mind as it keeps growing.
I’m in zone 7B, water it once or twice a week depending how the soil looks 1-2 inches down and keep it on the porch that doesn’t give it direct sun.
I rent at the moment so I don’t plan to put it in the ground anytime soon.
That said when should I start thinking about pruning/trimming the leaves? And when should I think about moving it to a bigger pot?
Will it ever bear fruit with how I’m growing it and how should I care for it indoors for the winter?

Just wanted to show this pretty baby off 🥰 first time getting an avocado with albinism or maybe variegation, not really sure which, so maybe someone here could clarify!

I don’t think I really watered it enough right after planting, I was so used to watering it once every other week or so but I’m now watering it every other day ish, basically when the soil colour matches the surrounding unwatered soil. We also had a mega heatwave shortly after planting so the top of the trunk and upper branches got sunburnt, it’s dropped a lot of leaves (the last photo shows it right after planting). Poor thing has been super stressed out.
The good news is though it’s put out loads of new growth, hopefully it bounces back

As my tree has accumulated more fruit this year than previous years, the branches are headed down towards the ground. Do you ever prop up or support them in some way?

​

Had it for a year and still looks the same.

I water when the top 3 inches are dry and fertilize monthly

Hi all, I repotted the grown-from-seed avocado plant into a bigger pot (I also repotted the other nearby plants) and it’s now drooping.

I watered it yesterday, which is why the soil is still wet.

I repotted it into a bigger pot with a mix of its original soil (germinating soil), bark & perlite mix, and well-draining garden soil. It used to have very perky leaves.

It has indirect bright light (bright shade) in its spot as I don’t want it to get sunburnt these days, I’m avoiding direct sun (very hot mexico weather at the moment)

Is there anything I can do to help it survive and thrive?

It’s pretty much on the south facing side, aka the sun side.

I grew this avacado plant from a seed a few years ago. It’s growing quite large and has abundant leakage but it also looks like i’m doing something wrong. Any advice or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hi hi
I’m quite proud of this hehe
looks pretty healthy and still growing during winter. It’s been a pretty sunny winter here in aus so far so that’s nice

I’m just wondering if there’s anything to do to it? I haven’t grown anything before - this was just for fun

It’s kept indoors in a good sunny spot and i water it regularly
I don’t think i’ve needed to deter pests, but occasionally i see lil gnats in the top soil

I’ve only snipped it once

I just had a look at the bottom and the roots aren’t crowded

If i can leave it alone that’s nice
What are the next steps it needs, if any?
I have no end goal, just fun to watch it do it’s thing - but of course i don’t want to kill it 😅

Do they eventually go outside?

It’s baby photo is from feb

I live in North Georgia (USA). I want to try growing some Avocados, but it gets pretty damn cold in the winter. Is anybody here from this area and grow Avocados that may be able to give me some advice.

I grew this from a bruce avocado pit (it's a large variety of avocado) It's about 5 years old now. I'm not the best plant parent... I know the container is small but it was in a smaller one before and I guess I want it to settle before putting it in an ever bigger pot. If I put it in direct sunlight the leaves burn. I also don't know if I should prune it. I tried it one time when it was first growing and I fucked it up and almost killed it somehow and havent touched it since lol.

It looks so tasty and avocado on toast with some feta and tomatoes, maybe some lemon juice on it too looks so damn nice but I've tried avocado and I just don't like it, guac also isn't my thing, I want to love it so bad cuz it looks incredible and I get so sad whenever I think about my star crossd lovers story with avocado.

I’m starting to understand what boomers were saying about millennials not being able to afford a house bc wtf is this. I make my own avocado toast daily for like $1

I've had this plant for like 2 years, it has not been growing as I'd like it, but it's my first avocado plant so i don't really know what else to do.

i water it via a plate underneath the vase, in the summer it usually grows new leaves, however in the winter it stops growing.

all help is welcome!! :))

These brown /copper spots are all over. The tree faces south in Long Beach, CA. What is this from? I can’t tell if it is from a mite/bug or is it a fungal issue.

I made this cutie grow in the water, but I made it stay there long time, 1 years. So roots developed for water. Last photo was from three months ago, when first time I potted it. Was more grown but because of shock going into soil and with roots developed to water, gone to shock and all the leaves gone quickly. Three weeks ago cutted the stem in the middle so new baby 'things' on the stem started on the stem and one week ago this top thing started to grow (not good with English). Watering once a week, here is so hot but she's not getting crazy direct sun. Two days ago watered again and today I realized the pit started to rot. Freaked out but read that it's a normal and natural process. Is it true? Middle of it just brownish but not mushy, read also that it's natural. True? New leaves started to get brownish though it's weird because they're already so new.

Open to comments please. 🙏

1. is my seed ready to be potted in soil?

2. should i be concerned about the mold? will the seed just rot away when i plant it? some sources have said to wash it and i have but it keeps coming back. will it affect the plant’s quality? thank you so much!

I’ve started growing this avocado plant around a month and a half ago. I can see 5 tiny leaves on the stem that are beginning to grow, but it’s growing pretty thin. Should I prune it? I’ve looked thorough various posts but can’t seem to figure out what the correct approach is.
Also, I’d like to move it to terrain pretty soon, hopefully this weekend. Should I keep something in mind? What is the best soil?
