Avocado plants from seeds - September 10th, 2002 at 06:37 PM
I read about growing avocado seeds into trees from 1999. The advice was to pinch back the seedling to 6-8 inches when it reached 12 inches. Right now I have one plant which has reached about 12 inches and has 3-4 healthy leaves on the top. How do I pinch it back? Cut it at 8 inches? pinch leaves off? What is the best way to do this? The last one I had just died after it had reached about 18 inches.
