Avocado Tree Problems
Tips, Tricks
I by no means claimed to be an expert in gardening and thus sometimes certain situations may not develop the way you expect them too. I compiled this video because I've been having some issues with growing avocado trees and of course other gardeners may have come across this problem before and are willing to share a solution to this problem. Any comments in how to deal with this situation or prevent the cause would be really appreciated.

Salt burn from soil place sand of bottom of soil to stop this

I put up a video about my avocado tree someone please help! I would appreciate it :)
-
I would re-pot into a commercial wooden pot with some rich potting soil, worm castings and foliar feed it a month later. Also you never mentioned where you are growing this plant?
-
shade cloth.

yes, it is red mites. you can use a sulfur spray to get rid of them..when your tree is done flowering, the leaves fall of automatically.. but if they are falling off before your flowers are in full bloom, that is a problem and you should spray sulfur.

@YouPlantTube you should do an update video if it's still alive.

Wow my tree has the same problem.

I got a Avocado tree and it's growing good avocados like a lol of water so when you do water give it a good bit of water another thing keep your avocado out of derect Sun cause to much Sun will burn the leaves I keep my avocado plant in a shady area whit some Sun and it's doing well in your case maybe you need to water it more and give it some plant food

Try watering more often and mulch on top of the soil, and keep it away from strong wind. To me it just looks like it's too dry. Oh and make sure it gets full sun. The leaves look quite green, so no need to fertilize. Not enough water and sun.

To me, it looks like excess salt accumulation in the soil. Over-fertilizing and under irrigation can cause salts to build up. Avocados are extremely sensitive to salts in the soil and water (does your water have sodium in it?). You could try leeching the soil with distilled water, or repotting the plant is new soil that is pH tested on the acidic side (They need a pH of 6.5 or a little lower). If you have sodium in your water, you will need to find a water source that is clean of sodium. In fact, in one of your pots, you can see a dusting of "white" on the soil... which is why I think you have a salt problem.

My opinion-need change soil...will make mix..clain,sand,worm manual and potty mix...and change place. Good luck!
-
Maybe remove 2-3 inches of the soil and fill it with fresh manure and obviously proper sunlight, watering, and temperature. Hopefully that would revitalize the plant. Good luck!

One of my trees did exactly the same thing. Turns out it was the 100+ degree weather that came two weeks after I transplanted it in direct sunlight. I had it in partial shade for months before the transplant. Now I only transplant in the fall or spring.
Btw, your trees are extremely nitrogen deficient. I have been growing citrus and avocado trees for quite some time now and recognise the deficiency. Some of my larger trees require up to 9 pounds of nitrogen a year. -
Brown leaves can be a sign of too little water. The stem shriveled up toward the bottom could also be a sign of not draining properly, resulting in root rot. Root rot is a deadly outcome unfortunately.
-
leaves that start to turn brown, could they become green again? or are those leaves just to be written off? http://kalbpawn.com/Avocado.html

too much fertilizer no mulching acidic soil....the list is endless...soil not draining the water etc

I have had a similar problem. Here is some good information. http://ucce.ucdavis.edu/files/datastore/530-27.pdf

the trunk of your tree is burne from sun that's the problem

This disease is caused by mites, mainly Persea mites and Brown mites. If you check underneath the leaves, you will see brown spots or tracks mostly on veins, but, you will not see the mites with naked eyes, since they are too small. I would apply water pressure to the underside of leaves with a regular garden hose. If that doesn't work, apply garden pesticide.
As for the sun light, Avocado needs direct sun light, so, don't put it in shade.
