RE: Bonsai World - Avocado Bonsai Update!
Yeah, I totally just flipped it. Never have I ever thought of trying an avocado bonsai. It's new ground so I'm pretty much guessing my way through to success. Everything I do is based off trial and error. Luckily, I know a bit about how avocado trees grow in the wild.
Avocado trees work great as bonsai the only floor to it is you have to prune a lot and it dies back a bit when pruned to do not prune to close to next bud. New growth always tends to go straight up. I have two.
Thanks for the advice. I've raised dozens of bonsai but never an avocado bonsai - this is new ground for me so any advice would be appreciated.
Have you written a post about regular avocado trees? I would read that to give me more insight on avocado tree growing.
Haven't written a thing. I've been going through the books I've got and it seems pretty simple, just need to condense that to a bonsai. But hey, I've got time while the seed does its thing. Thanks again for the idea.
