How to Pinch an Avocado Tree
I pinched the very top two leaves of my small avocado tree a few weeks ago. I saw a post somewhere about someone who wished she'd done this to her young avocado to encourage branching out. I didn't quite know why, but I decided to do it too. It's been a few weeks now, and I noticed two new stalks growing.

I'm glad to read this advice...it's the first time I've grown an avocado myself.
ReplyDeleteI've never grown an avocado tree before but it looks like pinching is paying off.
ReplyDeleteNice picture.
I have a few avocado trees growing in vases indoors. I think they need to be pinched since they only have one or two branches. OK you've inspired me to pinch them.
