You need to provide more information. Where do you live? Zone?? What kind of light is the plant getting. These are tropical trees which require high light and heat.

Please post back so we can help.

I live in Texas, zone 6b. The plant is getting high light and I'm growing it inside.

If it's inside, Jamilla, it is very likely it's not getting enough sun.

Avacados are very, very high light plants.

No one has answered my question though LOL

I don't know if pinching is something you do to avacados or not lol.

you remove the growth point, that's what pinching is.....if you're supposed to pinch it. Lol.

Ok. LOL. Well how to I remove the growth point?

I feel so silly now LOL

You can make your thumb green and pinch it with your fingers. Or scissors.

Oh ok

It started as an experiment and once it started growing...well you know the rest. I'll try to give it more light but that probably won't be possible since its inside.

I keep mine lush and healthy indoors for the Winter. It needs a good potting mix, a bright window, and regular water and fertilization. And, of course, lots of pruning during the growing season.

Its sooo beautiful. And it has a trunk!!! I'm sooo jealous. Grrrrr...

Lol, I love your plants, Josh!

His plant makes my poor avacado look sooo sad!!!

Thanks.

I've been growing and hacking this one back for almost 6 years now. It takes time and patience, especially if you're trying to keep it somewhat manageable for the Winter indoors. They're very vigorous plants....you just need to let them know who's in charge.
