Where Should I Prune This Avocado Please?

Wanting to prune this home grown avocado plant. It’s nearly 2 years old and I want to prune it and repot in a big tub so it can be outside much of the year. Thanks for any help 🪷

I would prune about 7 or 8 cm down on both main branches. They aren't, too, picky about pruning. They will accept pruning in any manner, just about. Just don't remove more than 1/3 of any branch at any time.

Thanks that’s very helpful, thanks, it’s over 3ft high so I’m sure will benefit from pruning! 🪷
