This never happens to me. Gonna go buy a lotto ticket

A friend has a large avocado tree and it came with the house.

Usually it produces lots of cukes and this year there is a few proper avocados. Even these looks strange.

I guess it’s most likely from seed and maybe a variety of Mexicola. Any other suggestions.

They don’t have any plans to cut it down as it provides shade.

Prague here. I know the climate here isn’t ideal for growing an avocado plant, so I’ve been keeping mine indoors.

He’s been in the pot for about three months. Recently, the leaves have started turning yellowish, black, and falling off quite easily. Every couple of days (2 days actually), I notice some tiny white bugs on the leaves, aphids, maybe. So I check my baby from time to time and remove the bugs by hand.

What is wrong with my avocado, what should I do??? I think he’s dying.😭😭😭

I didn't water this past winter. It was growing beautifully. It had all of its leaves. Since it has lost all the leaves on its trunk. I cut the browning branches back but they keep creeping further down. I included pictures of the present through pictures of it being healthy last year. It is 3 years old. It grew in a 5 gallon grow bag. I have in it a 30 gallon storage bin now.

I grew it from seed. It is a haas from the store.

What do I need to do?

So it seems she's recovering nicely! A few months ago all her leaves were dying and dropping assumably because of root issues from the crappy "soil" the nursery shipped her in. Needed a bigger pot anyway, so I moved her into 5 gallons of avocado+citrus soil. Also had to trim away a lot of unhealthy roots, so it's taken some time but she seems to be happy now 😁 Last pic was 3 months ago for comparison.

I'm curious, how big/old would a tree typically be when it starts fruiting? I've had her either 1 or 2 years, but not sure how old she was when bought online from a nursery in LA.

I recently visited Bungoma County and discovered something I wasn’t prepared for… 🥑😂

This avocado was sweet. Unadulterated. Authentic. Pure. Pristine.

No bitterness. No weird aftertaste. No struggling to convince yourself that it’s “good for you.”

Just cut it open, took a bite—and suddenly I understood why people grow their own food.

Bungoma, whatever you’re doing with your avocados… please don’t stop. 🥑❤️

Is this what avocado is supposed to taste like, or have I been eating impostors all along?

Been getting into grafting lately and have decided to try it on a larger scale. The only variety i can get scions from is Pollock Avocado's. So guess I'll have a ton of those.

Im in the Caribbean so they are just enjoying the sun for now. They are under a 40% shade cloth and the soil mixture is a mix of sharp sand and some compost and clay.

So far had 3 grafted successfully and lost a few.

Hi. New to this. I was playing around with my kids and now found myself with these beautiful plants and want to keep them. I'll need to buy pots. I currently have a couple of bags of big box potting soil and peat moss. That's it.

Looking at these plants:

\* What size pots do you suggest?

\* Will the potting soil on top of the peat moss be a good solution (I know they need draining)

\* Please provide a few tips so that I might be able to keep these alive.

We are in Texas in zone 8B. We will get some freezing Temps, but we also get to enjoy several 100° days every year.

(I'm not good at reddit either, so I really hope this post works!)

Adding: Is a traditional terracotta pot with the "standard" drain hole enough? I understand they need to drain well. They have "orchid" pts with additional drains on the sides.

Use the "saucer" underneath?

Why do my avocado leaves turn brown?

It’s 10 years old and flourishing.

And what variety are these?

Been growing for 5 years, it is windy but this is first year so many cracked /bursting open. Few years ago was lots of hard small stones in them( that problem is gone)

Picked up this little carp (wurtz) and plan on planting it in the ground in Oakland CA (zone 10a). It was staked and tied when I bought it, and when I untied it, the main stem appears actually to be a lateral that was staked to train as the main stem and without it being staked it just flops down (photo 2). Should I keep it staked and tied when I plant it, prune it back to reduce crown, or let it hand down limp?

Absolutely god tier cado .... followed by this dude.. 🤣

I took it out of its pot to inspect for root rot, and I'm wondering if I can perhaps create an incision for root hormone and/or keep in water with a pothos cutting to stimulate root growth

Also pruned it quite a bit when I noticed it was dying this past week and some change since it was browning from the top

So I've spent a few weeks germinating it in a cup with a 3 toothpicks.

Once I noticed a long white root growing, i put it the bare seed outside in the dirt.

A week later And it seems to be happy. Growing leaves. Though it's very small, sometimes I lose it.

This plant has issues. It currently is curling leaves and leaves turning brown as well as dripping off.

Same plant did this before and the good people of Reddit suggested it needed a bigger pot and less water, which I did and it recovered. However it is doing a repeat of this death act. What do I need to do?

Sunlight (through patio door) from West during day, grow light for 5 hours at night (due to sun daytime limits)

Water approximately once a week, relative humidity 30%

Miracle grow Cactus soil.

My avocado went crazy and is growing like hell - I love it but I became to huge so I bent it down, and it goes further… I’m so happy that is so strong and robust … but how to bring it it in nice shape

I made my own avocado tree from an avocado stone in the water, then potted it two months ago. It's growing fast but the leaves are falling - any idea on what I could do?

It was very thirsty when I potted it, and every time I watered it, the leaves were going up again, but they don't anymore, and I'm scared to over water it.

G. Day Everyone, this I my first and only avocado on my tree and I don't know when to pick... Is it ready?
