I just read your post: How long until and avocado tree fruits?

Apr 22, Before pruning, picture what you want the avocado tree to look like now and in 2, 5, 10 and 15 years. Hygiene is also very important when pruning avocado trees. Pruning tools should be cleaned regularly, and sick – or unhealthy – trees should be pruned separately from the healthy trees in order to prevent the spread of sunblotch and fungal. Jan 26, Why not just trim an avocado tree like a hedge? You can do that, but be aware that, in the words of Ben Faber, farm advisor with the University of California, it “leads to an explosion of water sprouts that result from bud break up and down the branch because the terminal bud which control the buds lower down have been removed.”Cutting back to lateral branches leads to calmer treeclean.bars: Mar 29, Prune every year at least once It really does only take a couple of cuts to keep the tree down to 15 feet as long as I prune every year.

If you miss a year, then you’ve got more wood to cut and tree removal etters pa lose some fruit production because avocados make most of their fruit on the outer edge of their canopies. Last year, I pruned on January 26. Dec 18, Cut the tree back to its main trunk if it needs rejuvenation pruning. This is an extreme, risky form of pruning, usually used in orchards to promote new growth in later years.

Use your 96%(43). May 25, Cut the tip and upper leaves off of the central stem once it’s 12 inches (30 cm) tall. Once your avocado tree reaches about 12 inches (30 cm) in height, you’ll want to trim off its tip and top leaves to encourage new growth. Use a sharp pruning tool to make a clean cut on the central stem just above a treeclean.bar: 83K.

Thank you for the path forward!

Cut the top branches back to just outside a bud or lateral-growing branch so they match the root length. Make cuts with loppers or a pruning saw. Mar 01, Avocados don’t need much pruning, but removal of more than a third of the wood, especially terminal ends, can remove the bud wood.

However, light pruning can enhance circulation and light penetration, encouraging budding. Over feeding a tree, especially with nitrogen, can also contribute to no blooms on avocado.

Apr 11, Fewer new shoots one year means less avocado fruit the next year because avocado trees only flower, set fruit and bear fruit on peripheral new shoots. At times, avocado crops have been heavy enough to cause two years of poor flowering and yields, resulting in a large third-year crop, as the tree seeks to find its"balance" among growth, fruit.
