Great hardy plant!

Our dog chewed this one down to a stick when we first brought it home and we were beside ourselves, thinking it would die off.

Instead, around 3-4 months later, it sprouted leaves and then fruited! Of all the miracles! We are stoked. Highly recommend.

We have kept it in a pot for now until we figure out exactly where we want it in the ground, but it's doing great.

Plant arrived in in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates.

May 2020 - No growth or changes in tree until the leaves all started slowly dropping in April - I think I wasn't watering enough out of fear of root rot. However new buds formed as the last leaves were coming off and there is now new growth. We will see how it copes with winter in Toowoomba - may have to bring it inside on cool nights. There has already been a night of 5 degs - I'm wondering whether some of the new buds have been damaged (turned grey).

Winter 2020 - Brought to Brisbane out of fear of Toowoomba winter causing damage. Unfortunately a possum stripped the plant of every leaf!

Autumn 2021 - has rebounded well since possum attack. Had a scare when repotted into 45L planter bag from 30cm plastic pot. Noticed fungus gnats buzzing around soil. Turns out the planter bags drain poorly when positioned directly on concrete/soil. Once pot feet (improvised short sections of PVC pipe) were added, problem was solved. 

September 2021 - Currently in 45L planter bag. Survived Toowoomba winter outside in pot with minimal leaf loss (under shade cloth so no frost could settle). Currently having flush of new growth.

Avocado - Hass (A) (Grafted)

Comments: -

Had to hard prune 2 x hass, due to animal attack (maybe possums) They eat the bark & near totally ring the tree. Trees were 5m tall, now down to main stump 1 metre. Have also 3 other Hass which did not get attacked, but they only have a few flowers.
