Excellent info. I'm in Sydney and recently bought a bacon & Wurtz trees ad was worried about putting them in the ground as I was told the roots can damage paths and structures. Going out to buy some pots now. Thanks :)

QUESTION & ANSWER TIME REGARDING GROWING AVOCADOS IN POTS AND ONE OF MY VIDEOS
https://youtu.be/12HqROg33Yw
vIEWER: Great video but i would have liked you to discuss potting mixes in detail......what is best ....possible additives........is it best to use terracotta or plastic pots? ......stuff like that........lots of good info for growing in the ground though mate.
MY REPLY: Yes, I really need to do a video on that area in more depth for sure. To answer you question though.
Potting Mixes would need to be a premium range, Large plastic pots with a tank down below. A premium potting mix hold enough fertilizer, but I do recommend placing a layer of compost on the top, then a layer of mulch as Avocado's feed mostly on the surface.
As they are surface feeders a container with a large brim would work best.
Thanks for the comment and the feedback.
Happy Gardening

I like your video's Marty. I have a 2 to 3 year old tree started from seed and my plan is to prove you can get fruit from a seed grown tree. I did it when I was a young girl. I love avocado's and seeing all the people on here who say you cannot get fruit from a seed grown tree is making me wonder, did I have a fluke of a tree so many years ago or what? Any rate, I will keep trying, just to see the results again. Unfortunately I do not live in South Florida anymore, I live in South Georgia, but, I am determined! Could you tell me how I should prune my tree? It has about a 2 foot trunk the size of my thumb and then it splits with two that have lots of leaves and are about a foot in length That is really not what I want ,I'm thinking.

please help! i have an avacado tree that over 8 ft tall but my ceilings are only 8 ft tall. its starting to bend. i never knew i had to prune this thing. it 2 1/2 years old, started from a pit seed. the entire trunk stem is way to thin, like less than an inch and its very flimsy. seems like i need to cut the tree in half to let it get thicker at the trunk and body stem and to be able to start pruning it. any help is appreciated. thanks!

Cool video and very informative...thank you Marty!

Loved your video! I have recently become addicted to avocados and would like to grow my own. I have very clay soil. I also live in the US, New Hampshire ,where winters can be brutal. I have a feeling that putting them in the ground here would not be to good. I love how you described the digging of the large hole with the gravel and the sand for drainage. That would definately help. Can you grow them in the ground in New England climates? Is there some way to cover them or insulate them during the cold months so they come back to life in the summer? Or would you recommend that I grow a dwarf in a huge container and somehow try to move it inside in the winter and then ease it out in the spring/ summer? P.S. Your daughter is adorable. I have two myself 14 and 18 they grow so fast enjoy every minute. Sorry to be so wordy.

Hi Jane Doe, that's a great question and the answer is definitely yes, bring it out as soon as the sun starts getting some warmth in it and your Avocado tree will love you for it. If possible some fresh potting and liquid fertilizer once a week and it will love you for it. Happy Gardening

I started an avocado tree from a seed, 1 year ago. The tree is now about 2 feet tall, I live in northwest Indiana, I plan on keeping it in doors all winter. Would it be ok to put it out doors in the summer time?
