Avocado Tree Pruning
« on: June 22, 2020, 05:54:19 PM »
I just received this avocado tree, what would be the best way to go about pruning it? I want a small bushy plant, so cutting off the top growth seems like it would be a good idea?

Many thanks

Yeah, it looks quite lanky and could use some pruning. It's hard to see the nodes from your picture because of the stake and tag, but you could pretty much just cut it anywhere you'd like it to start branching. I usually cut it above a spot with multiple nodes, and that's the area where the new growth will come out.
