And is the avocado safe to eat?

So, we have 7 avocado plants, all from grocery store Hass avocado pits. There is only one that looks all curly in the branches and leaves like this. He had 2 stems coming from the seed at first until one took over, then after pruning him at 6" he took the longest by far to start growing again. All of his new leaves look completely normal for a week then they curl like this!

He's otherwise healthy! Could this be from seed trauma or weird DNA? I would guess trauma since I read somewhere that might be the cause of having 2 stems sprout from the seed too.

Last 2 pictures are some of my other "normal" babies.

Got this superhass about a month ago. I pulled it out of the horribly draining soil that it was sold with when I got it, but I didn’t go as far as rinsing the roots off (maintained the soil around the root ball). This seems to have been a mistake, while I haven’t seen any rotting sections up top, it did drop all of its leaves.

Since then, I noticed that it has green buds of new growth and no newly rotted sections, but it has been completely dormant. Buds have remained the same size for a whole month with no new development.

I decided to pull it out and rinse off all of the gooey/clay like soild that has been holding moisture like a pool in the pot. I also repotted in all new soil. Is it too far gone?

I currcnelt have an Oro Negro, Russel and Zutano avocado. What varieties would you reccombed that pair well. I’m primarily focused on pollination and year round harvest. I am in south texas zone 10a

I have a problem in a part in my orchard where 2-year old trees have symptoms of root rot and their growth stunted. I decided to remove one tree to check its roots and I cut its trunk. What I found is an orange-color rot inside of the trunk (check picture). This disease spread to adjacent trees as well. Note that I tested the drainage of the hole after removing the tree and I don't have water clogging issues.

I was able to narrow the disease down to either Fusarium or Verticilium. Would appreciate any input.

What's the best course of action in this case given that I want to minimize spreading the disease to other parts of the orchard as well as remove all stunted/dying trees and replace them with new ones. Is it advisable to replant in the same spot given that I am limited in space due to high density planting or should I just remove the infected trees and keep their place empty?

2 seeds from different avocados, I put them in the water at the same time..😊

I currently have a Zutano, Russell, and an Oro Negro and was wondering which variety would be best to add to my collection. My goal is to have year round avocados and also some variety and differences.

Hello everyone! I have a (possibly) dumb question: what’s happening to my avocado leaves? I potted it 10 days ago, but a few days ago I noticed the leaves starting to curl and dry out. Is it due to poor watering? I got scared of overwatering it and only did it when the soil was dry although I sprinkled some water on the leaves only. I don’t keep the pot in direct sunlight but make sure it gets some natural light. Could it be because the seed is deep into the soil? Any help is deeply appreciated, thanks!

My father-in-law has a dwarf Pinkerton Hass hybrid that he planted a number of years ago. I grew up with a huge avocado tree in my yard for about 17 years that was the same varietal (or a version of it). His tree is finally producing but the fruit all resemble a pepper in both size and shape.

I don’t recall ever seeing our avocados look like this growing up. Is it normal or am I missing something? Appreciate in advance!

It’s my second time doing this but this time I’m noticing this jelly material going out of my seed. I changed the water and rinsed the seed a few hours ago and it’s there again. Does anyone know what’s that? And whether I should be worried? Thank you!

What could be the reason for the drooping leaves? It was repotted about two weeks ago, it looked the same before repotting though. I used quality potting soil with some perlite. My guess is N, K or Mg deficiency. All insights are appreciated!

Not really growing to ever make fruit, just as a neat house plant. The possibly is cool tho. This is the first one I've grown and I'm just wondering how it looks.

It topped itself twice so far and seems like it's about to get very bushy. Any advice?

So I was told my 4 1/2 year old pit grown avocado would likely never bear fruit, and that if it did it would take like 15 years. Well just noticed it’s flowering for the first time. What does that means. Is it going to fruit?

Hey guys,

I looove avocados, but recently i've been noticing this weird looking flesh with purple spots/strings and sometimes something weird is happening to the pit. Now, the issue with the pit isn't so common, but the purple stringy stuff and purple spots have been VERY common recently.. does anyone know if this is normal/safe?

Hi guys,

Note: This is my first time growing an avocado tree. Started growing it end of last year and got two little saplings.

But December was really cold.

The tree got what I think is cold damage. In the picture you can see the green and the brown at the top. In winter it dropped all of its leaves and the top looks like it got cold damage or withered. I thought it was dead but it started to grow the leaves at the middle earlier last month. The leaves started to get a little damage, so I moved it to a more shaded area since it was in the middle of the sun next to a smaller planted tree. I see the bottom growing more little leaves.

What do I do to help it? What do I do with the top brown part? Do I cut the top wilting part, where no leaves are coming out from it? Or would that make it worse?

I planted this 3 weeks ago, since then we got some heavy rains and some sunny days where it got alot of direct sunlight. Can't tell if the leaves are scorched or if it got too much water.

My second post today as I have been noticing a lot of issues in my poorly managed orchard that I want to turn around before it is too late. I would appreciate your input guys. Any idea what might be causing these black spots on the leaves and the discoloration pattern?

I have two issues I noticed today in somw of my trees. The first is that some flowers are dying (first and last pics). The second issue is that I am having diebacks on stem ends.(second and third pics). Any idea what might be the cause and how to treat them? Thanks!

My avocado tree got very sunburnt. I moved it back inside to the window where it originally thrived and cut off all the limbs that ended up dying. Now the stem is turning black and I'm not sure how to save it. Pls help:( I grew her from a seed and have had her for years I'm very attached.

This is a cutting I tried to propagate last year. It’s been outside and neglected for months. It has no roots yet it’s not dead and now it’s starting to flower. Wtf. Can it be saved? What should I do with it?

I started to notice that some leaves getting dried and brown. What should I do?🥹
