As nicely as this avocado tree is growing, it does need to be prompted to start branching out at some point.
If I prune off those top baby leaves and leave the two nodes intact, will it start branching from both, or only one?
Current height is around 14 inches tall.
Avocado tree are really tricky…and frustrating. You can’t be sure it will actually branch, it depends on exposure to sunlight and quality of the soil. Some supplements could help too (phosphor I think? Someone please correct me, I’m not sure).
Do prune it though ! Mine is regurlarly pruned and looks good (I think!)
