Hi Jade
telll us a bit more about your avocado - where does it live and what sort of compost is it in?

It's in a large pot. We used potting soil. It's sitting on the east side of the house to get the eastern sun but not the west. Every once in a while I feed it viggo plant feed that's made for avacado treEs
How big is the pot and how big is the tree? How often is it watered?

It's a hal barrel, and I water it every couple days if I notice the soil is dry.
And how big is the tree? If it's in a half-barrel do I take it that it's outside? Whereabouts do you live?
