Avocado Growers

Advice

10 years ago

Hey everyone appreciate any advice and suggestions. My avocado is about 2 years old. I live in Texas about 50 miles south of Houston. Yesterday I put my avocado into the ground on the south side of the house and soaked it down really good. I'm always concerned about the brown leaves but always see new leaves growing. Thanks

Brown leaves are normal within reason. Don't overwater it will take 60 days to get over shock. Paint the trunk and branches with 50/50 white latex paint for sunburn. Soil drainage is key.

yea, good advice above. Plus, keep in mind where you live. It will be a challenge there. Your heat is pretty intense. Keep the soil moist...just not standing water. Mexican varieties might be a little tougher...and give you a better shot to succeed. I would look online at what folks are growing in Florida, also.
