As nicely as this avocado tree is growing, it does need to be prompted to start branching out at some point.
If I prune off those top baby leaves and leave the two nodes intact, will it start branching from both, or only one?
Current height is around 14 inches tall.
From the size of the pot and canopy, im guessing you've been pruning the lower nodes that attempted to branch out? I see a few tiny modules in your picture a bit lower, so just making a guess.
With avocado plants in an container, I don't know that snipping the top is going to do much but try and drive lower branching, but I think you're asking about getting it to branch more at the top?
No previous pruning beyond pinching that one tiny leaf to see if anything would happen.
I do want it to start branching at the top, and also thicken up the stem a bit. Preferably before it reaches the top of the cubicle.
Also might get a bigger pot later on and move it off my desk.
lol
yeah that huge avo on your desk is pretty hilarious😆
Nice pin btw!
