I can feel your excitement. You've got it bad... I started out with one.. then another. And another. I have nine avocado trees now. Thanks for sharing. I'm expecting monthly updates on your new found hobby. I'd white wash the tree trunk as well. I have bought trees in 15 gallon pots, and trees in tiny sleeve. If I could do it all over I would buy all small trees as they grow a much better root system.
Nice - I haven't heard of sharwil - you are in deep my friend - I'm probably heading there soon too...I keep checking my trees hoping the fruit hasn't dropped! Still there and looking a little bigger each day!!!
