Q.Avocado Trees

Zone Corunna. MI. 48817 | Anonymous added on April 2, 2023 | Answered

My avocado tree is planted in a pot and sits in my south window all winter and summers outside. My problem is the leaves are turning kind of yellow. I water it well and it has drainage too. It is 3 + years old and about 3 feet tall.
