Beatiful plant! Rarely does one see the whole journey of younger avocados plants which were potted from seed. I think its really motivating and insightful for newer growers in the space, so thank you. How much do you actually prune, beside the one cut that you mentioned? Eagerly waiting for the summer update.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you! I agree, it's fun to see how they develop over time :) I will try to document more frequently so it's easier to follow now that I have started this channel. I did not prune this tree much at all, I remember I did an early cut to get the dual branch going when the tree was very young. And that major cut on the main stem, nothing else yet. But I have to start to prune it sooner or later I guess, because its about to hit the ceiling soon haha :D And I want it to get more full bushy look rather then tall and thin.

[@Valko67]

@@NordicPlantLover , pruning for succes ;-) you will also be able to give light where it will need for future flowerings and fruits to growning healthy , it will even bloom quicklyer than if you dont , prune it every year back what whas growing the seson before or keep one eye or two depending how you want to keep in shape you like , i see very small trees given lots of avocado in the growing tents ading light on dark winterdays , even papayas are cultivate with good results , the nederlands are the nr 1 for me if it comes to knowledg growing warm vegetables in kold climate , so , wish you al the best with you avocado tree , nice and welldone , it is huge for the space it grows in to , ;-)

good thing i watched your video. i was thinking about getting an absolutely huge pot to grown a decent size tree when i start growing my avacado tree. it was like 16 by 16 but now i see your tree is fairly large despite the smaller pot than the one i wanted to buy.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Glad I could help :). It is not always good to have too big pot from the start of a young tree. You need very good drainage if the roots are not covering the whole pot, or else water may sit for too long in the soil, and cause rot and other bad stuff. Good luck with your tree! 😊

I grow avocados to (southern California), if I was living in a northern area I would probably do the same and grow it in doors, take it outside during the summer. Glad to see it can be done. Thanks for sharing.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Do you get any fruit? :) My dream would be to have a fruit bearing Avocado tree some day.

[@AvocadoTalk]

@@NordicPlantLover growing from seed will fruit one day but could take a long time. Some people get fruit in 5 years and some it takes 20 years and all outside. You are indoors so I'm not sure if it will fruit. If you can find someone who has a avocado that has already fruited , ask to get a cutting and graft it on to your avocado. Good luck.

[@ceciliaj3148]

My grandpa did!!! He had an avocado tree. Avocados wasnt sold here in Sweden when he did it, but he worked at volvo and he got the opportunity to travel to brazil and work there for a year. He took tree avocado seeds home with him. He planted them and people here say its impossible to grow tropical fruits here because of how dark it gets in the winter, but he did it anyways. He didnt expect them to get so old, but all of the trees survived in their pots for five years, then one of them died in the winter. But two of them survived and eventually they had flowers and then fruits!!! The trees only had three avocados that ripened, but still!!!! He got fruit after 14 years ahhaha. I have a 7 year old avocado tree, and one 2 year old. That 7 desperatly needs to be repotted, but i am so scared to do it because im afraid its gonna die. Its literally like a pet or even a child to me😭😭😭

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thanks for sharing your story! This is very valuable information for me 🤩. Don’t be afraid to repot, nothing bad has ever happened to my avocados after repotting 😊. Also, dont be afraid to remove some roots if it has lots of roots circeling the bottom om the pot.

[@annemarita4259]

Those "some kind of clay balls" are actually Lava rocks. Nice Avocado tree. One of my trees is about the same size after planting the seed 18 months ago. But that's because it's growing in the tropics. You have done extrememly well growing it indoors.

Come back in 7 years and show off your avacadoes. It may take that long for the tree to bear fruits since you are growing it from seed. Meanwhile you are enjoying it as it grows. You may need to tell us what your plans are for the next growing season when the height of your tree reaches the ceiling height. I guess you can always trim it down. Thanks for sharing.

Love your avocado! I was wondering how you keep it happy over winter, since it must get quite dark in Scandinavia. Do you also use grow lights for the big boy?

[@NordicPlantLover]

It usually is not very happy at all during the winter. I try to place it as close to a window as I can. But it will drop a lot of leafs, and it's important not to overwater it. I don't use any grow light on this one, so far it's been working well. Also it's fun to see in the spring/summer how much new leafs that starts to grow :).

[@NordicPlantLover]

@Candi No, not yet. It can take over 10 years, and maybe it never will.

[@Burgandi2727]

I have a huge indoor avocado tree also. I repotted about 3 days ago and its really droopy was wondering how long it will take to recover. Or if I should trim some..

[@NordicPlantLover]

It can get a little transplant shock after repot. Best is to keep it out of the sun and heat right after a repot. But it should recover with time. Be careful not to overwater it during this time, because it might look thirsty, but instead you might drench it :).

[@Valko67]

if i whas you i would prune it short as same as we prune citrus and most fruittrees as well , so it is also more atempt to produce flowerings and be able to fruit with good wintertime light adings to optain the needed day light hours to stay in good winter conditions , indore i use also one humidifier to each of my diferent planting corners or do i have to say jungles with diferent biotopes , i trie everything i can , by now my space have no places left over so i have to prune this fruit trees to fit well , and by experiences , i also have opserve that grownth will be even more health and fiel up the space back that i pruned very quickly ,and fruting is much intensif and gives bigger and much tasty fruits , but you have grown nice avocado tree , succes with it , hope you get fruit once ;-) , .....Carl > Belgium

[@RejectedAce]

Nice video, very helpful! I was wondering, is it normal for avocado trees to lose leaves often ? I have two 5-7 years old trees and their leaves are looking healthy but there’s always a couple on the floor, all dried up.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you! Yes, it is normal 😊. Avocado trees loose their old leaves from previous seasons. Out in the wild, the forest floor is filled with old leaves, which acts like mulch and helps keep the and roots moist.

Har du märkt någon skillnad på vanlig jord o medelhavsjord?

[@NordicPlantLover]

Jag tycker inte jorden blir lika soggig med medelhavsjord, det bildas inte lika mycket fungus o sånt på ytan heller om man jämför. Jag tror det minskar risken för root rot då, som avokados råkar ut för relativt lätt. Jag märker ingen skillnad näringsmässigt mot vanlig blomjord heller, så testa att köra med medelhavs om du är sugen :). Bra att du frågade, jag hade nästan glömt bort att jag hade det i min, och inte reflekterat över fördelarna riktigt 😄.

Incredible! How often do you water your tree, and is there a drainage in your pot? Also, when do you need to repot the tree?

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you :). I water 2-3 times a week, it needs more during the summer. Yes, It is important with drainage. I hope I dont have to repot for a while now, its too big :D. I will add more fertilizer, maybe I can wait 2-3 years before I have to repot again.

[@katrinaa1487]

Hi, I just reported my small avocado tree for the first time, should I water it right away or wait couple of days for damaged roots to heal first?

Great Tree ! I have a couple of questions. What type of soil have you been growing it in? and do you keep it in the house this whole time ? thanks !

I use soil with added fertilizer, and its good if it has some drainage mixed in. The ones i buy already have that premixed, but you can use coconut husk or perlite if it does not have it :). I keep it indoors now last 2 years. It's too big to move now. When it was smaller i had it outside a few months during the summer.

@@NordicPlantLover are you going to try the same thing with the mango tree?

@@NordicPlantLover i heard that they really like sand a lot, i tried adding 50 percent sand and some perlite and my mango trees in pots are very healthy

Hello I have grown an avacado tree from a pit. He is now 4 years old. He is one stem and many leaves but no branches yet. He has many small leaves at the bottom of the tree. Should I cut those off to encourage growth?

[@NordicPlantLover]

Hello. Good job! :) It's hard to say why he has not branched yet, it might be due to lack of sunlight, or nutrients in the soil maybe (repot time?). But I would not cut off leafs if they are not going bad. The tree will drop bad leafs by itself, and it's a normal process each year.

Question - I have my 3 seedlings. Planted them this summer. They are around 20 cm tall. Is it okay to repot them in spring? I wish my dudes grow up this big. ♥ Also, love the kitties! ♥ In Serbia I also call them leca and buy them in IKEA :D

[@NordicPlantLover]

Hello. It depends how big pot they have now, and how fast they grow. If planted in a small pot, I would repot them when they have maybe 3-4 set of leaves this year, and another time in spring :). I find that repotting often can make them grow bigger faster, BUT, only if they have outgrowed the previous pot, which you see on the roots (root bound).

When does it grow avocados?

[@NordicPlantLover]

Don’t know, I am still waiting 😊

[@Caffeinated_Warrior]

The thing about using normal rocks on the bottom of a pot when attempting to avoid root rot is that the water just sits at the bottom beneath the soil and the roots will simply grow down towards the water until they are all sitting in water anyways which totally defeats the purpose of the whole process. This guy used clay though which absorbs tons of water, which means water likely doesn't sit for long on the bottom but rather is transferred back into the soil quicker and the roots won't grow downwards as much.

[@NordicPlantLover]

Good explanation 😊

[@MrRockfish01]

What kind of avocado is that ?🤔

[@NordicPlantLover]

It is grown from the seed of a Hass avocado. But avocado is not true to seed/type so it will not grow hass avocados. So it''s some kind of mutant hass I guess :D

[@RalucaCiocianArdeleanu]

Wow, I had no idea that avocado trees can get so big indoors! I have a few questions: 1. in which season is it better to move them to a bigger pot? 2. How did you know it's time to move it? 3. How come you didn't mix the soil with perlite? 4. Did you mix fertilizer in the water after the move, or just watered it normally? Again, thank you for the very clear and instructive video!

[@NordicPlantLover]

Thank you for watching! :). 1. I think it’s best to repot 1-2 months before the spring, so it can get get used to the new pot and soil well before the growth spurt :). But if it’s really in need of a bigger pot, don’t wait! 2. You can gently try to pull it out of the pot, and if it has a lot of roots swirling in the bottom, it’s time! 3. I never tried perlite actually, I usually buy premix soil that has some drainage already. 4. I fertilize with long lasting green sticks during spring/summer. 2 times a year approx

@@NordicPlantLover thanks for the reply ! Did you prune yours at all? I haven’t repotted mine in 2 years and I’m about to do it, but my pot is the same size as yours and it hasn’t grown for months now !

[@NordicPlantLover]

I did an early prune to get the dual branch going when the tree was very young. And one major cut on the main stem, when i had to move the tree to a new appartment like 2 years ago, nothing else yet. What kind of soil do you use? Maybe it's out of nutrient, because it should not stop growing like that if it has a big pot, and nutrients in the soil. Unless its placed with very low light maybe.

Im always scared that if I putt it out by the trunk, I will break it from the roots

[@NordicPlantLover]

Yeah, it might if it is a smaller plant, and dont have enough roots to fill the pot yet. But you can often feel if the pull is on the trunk vs roots, or if its the whole pot soil that is stuck :).
