Will my Avocardo tree Survive (forum)
1 responses
Black Thumb starts with ...
Hi I purchased a Dwarf avocardo tree that was grafted, this tree was planted in Dec 2020 (SW Sydney) and it seemed to struggle a bit in the summer heat but has come good and was looking very healthy and it had a growth spurt from the end of winter. Well that was until the dog decided she would chew the stem below the graft down to about 10cm in height. during Oct a sucker has emerged and is now larger than the chewed stem in height. There are signs of leaves at the top of this sucker, so I am hoping this will grown into a replacement stem. Could someone please advise if this is the case and what variety of avocardo will fruit, and how long will it take to fruit. Where i live there is very thick and heavy clay so i dug down 65cm and replaced the soil with good quality potting mix and also built it up by 10am. Every now and then the tree gets a spray of seasol.
Looking forward to any comments.

If the sucker is from below the graft then its the rootstock. Unless you have room to spare, pull it out and plant a new one.
As a seedling it will be an unknown variety, its a gamble. Space and time are precious, you are going to be waiting years for it to fruit, if you have the space and time for that, keep it, otherwise replace it.
