June 10, 2022Q.Avocado Assistance
I am not sure where exactly to pinch off my avocado. I am growing it from seed. When it reached 6 inches or so, I trimmed it back to half. Not it has sprouted a new shoot, which is again about 6 inches or so with a few leaves at the top. I want it to get fatter at the bottom before I worry about leafing. What do I do? Help.

Certified ExpertA.Give it as much light as you can. Move it outside for the summer if you haven't. These articles should help.

June 23, 2022Q.Grafted Avocado Tree Seems To Be Growing From Both The Grafted Section And The Non Grafted Section
A few months ago I purchase a 5 gallon Avocado Tree. I planted it and all the sprouts were growing as I expected from the grafted branch. But about a month ago a couple of sprouts started growing from what looks to me as the side just before the grafted branch is connected. And these sprouts are now almost as tall as the other branches. So my question is should I do anything like cutting the questionable branches coming out of the non grafted side, or is it better just to let everything grow?

Certified ExpertA.Yes, those questionable shoots need to be removed or the non-graft can take over the grafted part. Here's an article that will help:

July 24, 2022Q.Is This Really An Avocado Tree?
I have a mystery tree that sprouted next to my house. I didn't cut it down because I thought it might be some kind of fruit tree but it's nothing I've ever seen; also nothing I can identify that grows in the woods around here. My sister-in-law says it looks like an avocado tree to here, but those don't grow here. It's been here 4 years total, gets a little bigger every year. It's around 7.5 to 8 feet high now.
