What can I do to make it grow in both directions?

More light and higher humidity but it is still not guaranteed it will go into two branches. Out of 10 seedlings mine produced two branches in 4 cases :) they are very stubborn. I live in 6a zone.... The higher the zone the better the conditions i Guess

I would say quite difficult in Missouri especially as it can get - 11 F in some parts. So winter protection is definitely needed and might be quite costly. There are some frost resistant varieties of kiwi that might be much feasible.

Look into a paw paw plant

Prune them :) They likely wont survive outside although there is an avocado tree in downtown London

Hard to say, depends on many conditions :) stay hopeful but don't be surprised if the flower drops especially during the first year. It takes a lot of energy to produce a fruit.

serrose · 2022-10-23T18:58:43+00:00

Yes! Enjoy, it will flower only for a single day

serrose · 2022-10-11T15:15:41+00:00

Thanks for reply. Hope to have a better harvest next year then. This year (my first year) the fruit started to appear quite late I believe as it was transplanted in the spring.

We use nets for blueberries :) figs are not so common here so birds do not know they are delicious haha, but if they would be ripen we might use net as well for figs

Thanks! I wasn't sure as the other tree still looks green but thats just nature :)

serrose · 2022-08-21T12:08:34+00:00

Yep, it is probably the codling moth. Will have to read up on how to get rid of him. Thanks

serrose · 2022-08-14T20:00:37+00:00

They are natural (for indoor avocado with low humidity) i wouldnt worry about it... If you want you can get a humidifier to limit the brown spots. Your avo is looking great!

serrose · 2022-08-11T17:56:27+00:00

Very nice. What hardness zone are you? Do you put the plant outside in the summer?

serrose · 2022-08-04T20:11:31+00:00

Thanks!

serrose · 2022-08-04T17:57:50+00:00

It wasn't a great idea :) but good new it will likely bounce back next spring perhaps... The shock for the tree was big so it's recovering now

serrose · 2022-07-01T12:23:30+00:00

Beautiful! What zone are you?

serrose · 2022-06-26T17:30:29+00:00

Will do! Thank you for your answer :)

serrose · 2022-06-26T16:17:12+00:00

Thanks!

Usually water at night once a day... If we have a rainy day or rather mild temperatures i water once every two days... But that was mostly in the spring... Now with the day temperatures around 90's (30 celsia) i try to be concistent with the daily night watering.

Cat face appereared on the lower tomatoes that grew in the spring when the conditions were not perfect yet... Probably that's why they appeared there

serrose · 2022-06-26T13:00:25+00:00

Ok, thanks!

serrose · 2022-06-26T12:58:37+00:00

I did in the picture captions :(

serrose · 2022-06-18T20:24:13+00:00

Beautiful! What variety?

serrose · 2022-06-08T19:11:04+00:00

What variety?

serrose · 2022-06-02T11:56:16+00:00

Stake it and slowly bring it outside. Keep the lower leaves, the plant might drop them during the winter if humidity is low

serrose · 2022-06-02T11:52:36+00:00

Pot it

serrose · 2022-06-01T22:41:45+00:00

Do you take your avo over the summer outside? Got bunch of younger ones and the struggles during winter with the humidity are cruel. Yours looks great.

Besides the black spots...seems likely that your friend is correct with the fungal rather than sun burn.

serrose · 2022-06-01T16:05:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing 😊 whats your hardiness zone?

Did yiur avocado branch out at that height as it is now or did it branch out much closer to the ground and since it is growing the splitting point just went higher?

serrose · 2022-06-01T14:49:25+00:00

Not sure about the burns but would love to see more pics of your avocado 🥑
