Ross starts with ... I have recently given my Wurtz avocado a heavy prune because of possum damage. It has now started regrowth and I need advice on further trimming the large branches back to new growth and whether to sacrifice shoots that are coming from under the branch. I assume these should be removed because of possible strength issues down the track.

Brendan says... Wow Ross, those possums must have given your tree a hard time! Usually, it is recommended to only prune/remove the top 1/3 (one third), otherwise, the tree may die. I have killed a 30yo avo tree by heavy pruning! At the moment, I'd just leave it to recover it's shock, and feed it some Seasol (white bottle). | About the Author Brendan Mackay, Q 10th October 2014 10:43am #UserID: 1947 Posts: 1722 View All Brendan's Edible Fruit Trees |
