July 5, 2017A.You can move your plant outdoors at any time, but make sure you slowly adjust it to the outdoor sunlight and weather conditions.
Avocado are only hardy in zones 10-11, so you will need to more your plant back indoors for the winter.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/avocado/avocado-tree-growing.htm

95005Q.Transplanting an avocado
I have a 5 foot tall plant that has been planted outside for two years. We now need to relocate the plant and are wondering when is the best time of year to do that? Will there be a problem if I relocate it in a mild July? It was grown from seed and given to me by a friend so I don't know the variety. We are located in Northern CA in the Santa Cruz mountains. We typically get a ton of rain in the winter and warm Summers. It's planted on a slight slope and is thriving.

July 6, 2017A.Avocado transplantation should be completed sometime in the spring or early summer when the ground is warm, but before the season is hot. Newly planted trees have a difficult time taking in water and are susceptible to sun damage.

Pretoria. South AfricaQ.Avocado tree that blooms early
We planted several avo trees grown from pits over the last 8 years. The one tree we planted approximately 6 years ago. However for the past 3 years it started blooming and making small fruit but the tree looses these small fruit very quickly. It is the only tree that does this.

August 18, 2017Q.Avocado
My avocado tree grown from seed finally produced fruit for a few years. Grafting didn't work, but I had bought a little seedling, put next to it, which helped it grow fruit. That little seedling has died. My avocado treat hasn't produced fruit in awhile. Does it need a new seedling? I thought once it grew fruit, it would continue to do so.

August 19, 2017A.If your tree is producing flowers but no fruit, this might be a pollination issue. See this article for advice:
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/avocado/pollinating-avocado-trees.htmIf there are no flowers at all, it might be that your tree doesn't have enough nutrients or other resources. Here is more information:
