Recommended treatment is to prune this stick to about 5" (and no leaves!) to force it to branch. I never prune them severely enough. in a suitable climate. I beg to disagree! If you sprout enough stones eventually, you will get on that sends out multiple shoots rather than one. Guard it with your life as it will have a multistem shrubby growth form instead of wanting to reach for the sky ever tree like. Mine is around 10years old now. Lives inside from October to may in a sunny kitchen/ day room and outside on the pation for the summer. Its about 1m30 tall and wide in a 18" bell pot and is a georgeous triple stemmed shrub. Its been hacked back a few times but happily comes back ever stronger. I must say I've never seen or heard of such a success. Congratulations! How long after the sprout emerged was it clearly a mulit-stemmed one? I will stop throwing away avocado seeds if there's reasonable hope. Thanks. :-) |
