Fall update, Nov 18 20242024-11-19 01:03:18It looks so good! This little tree seems to be recovering well from whatever rodent tried to chop it down last year. It sent up multiple shoots. I should probably figure out how & when to prune avocados at some point
Photo update, 5/22/242024-07-06 22:22:35It survived being cut off near the base AND the winter!! It's leafing out along the trunk and possibly from the roots as well!! What a fighter! :D
Freeze damage 2/10/242024-02-10 17:21:47Surrounded tree with a "wall 'o water" and covered with row cover before the hard frost came through. We got down to at least 24* here. It's not looking great

Rodent disaster :'( Sept 29, 20232023-12-22 01:38:58Some stupid rodent (a rabbit maybe?) has decapitated my beautiful healthy #134. It left ONE sunburned leaf on the sad little stump. I pruned it back and surrounded both trees with some chicken wire fencing. Will try rooting cuttings of the seedling.
Sept. 15, 2023 update2023-12-22 01:30:12Noticed something had taken some nibbles of avocado leaves. (I often have deer and rabbits chewing up other plants, could be one of those?) Apparently it wasn't very tasty
