Why and when to stake an avocado tree, materials to use for stakes and ties, how many stakes to use, where to tie, retying and maintenance, and finally, removal.
A post on staking avocado trees that I wrote is here: gregalder.com/...

Sorry for the bad audio, but I thought it most honest and instructive to shoot the video on a windy day when trees really need their stakes.

Good info, thanks. When a branch becomes dominant to the top do you stake it or try to prune it to shape your tree?

Do you have to worry about branches rubbing against the stake? I see some rub marks on branches that touch the stake. Should I be concerned about that?

How do you plant an avocado tree? I’m undecided if I want to mount it or just placed it flat... I have seen different methods from all over the place! I’ve seen all the avocado youtubers and some do suggest planting it on a mound for extra drainage

Have a look at the video I made on planting an avocado tree: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqizk2mXopKXpbc Also see the more detailed post I wrote on the subject here: gregalder.com/yardposts/how-to-plant-and-stake-an-avocado-tree/ In short, there's no need to plant on a mound unless your drainage is slow or your soil is shallow (less than about two feet before you hit bedrock or a hard layer). If your drainage is fast and your soil is deep, then planting on a mound just ends up requiring you to water more frequently because the mound dries out rapidly, similar to a potted tree. (I'm speaking from personal experience here.)

Greg - The wind just blew the avocado tree at our churches parsonage ,over to about a 45 degree angle because the soil was real wet (not damp) resulting in some root up -heaving. Could you do a video on how to save a tree in this condition, if it's possible to save it. Thanks.

If the tree is not too big start by bracing it where it is. If not over 3 or 4 inch diameter attach a wooden pole to the tree trunk. Then brace that pole with another pole (use screws, old hose, wire etc.). Drive 2 metal cement stakes in to prevent the pole from slipping. With the ground wet again drive 2 more metal stakes in 6 inches closer to the tree-- push or pull the tree more upright and move the brace pole up onto the new stakes. Repeat--Repeat.

What do you have wrapped around the trunk?

That's just something to keep the sun off the trunk and to keep the trunk warm on cold winter nights. It's a reflective bubble wrap, but I also use cardboard sometimes.
