Hi jon,
A true dwaft avocado tree are just 'naturally genetic dwafts'. They aren't made, they just are :-)
Ditto for semi-dwaft avo trees. Don't forget, if you plant a seed from say a Wurtz, you WON'T get a Wurtz or a dwaft. You will get an unknown type that usually grow into a very large tree.

Only other way I know is to keep the tree dwaft, keep it pruned to 3 or 4 metres high.
