What a surprise this was to come home to from Montreal! My avocado took off like crazy. I did like I said I would and left it under a small drip in the bathroom to keep it watered. As you can see it didn’t seem to mind. I have now moved it to the living room for more light. I measured it two days after I took this photo and it was up to 14 inches tall! It killed me to do it, but I followed the instructions and pinched off about 2 inches from the top. I hate pruning, especially brand new shoots like this. But really, I have to be smart about this. I live in an apartment not a forest.
Take a look at the cool markings it has on the trunk!
As long as it doesn’t grow as big as this tree outside Lucia’s apartment in Montreal I should be OK…
If it gets out of hand you can put it in my back yard

Do you think it would survive? If they lived here you would think everyone would have one. I hope to have a house with an indoor green room complete with pond for it

You’re freaking me out, just yesterday I was on my way home from work and your avocado tree popped into my head for some unknown reason and I wondered how it was doing and now here is an update. I am loving the progress and very glad it doesn’t look like an alien egg anymore.
