You've just reminded me it needs re-potting so I have just done that!
I have still left the original avocado stone close to the top of the pot but ideally I could bury it to hide the lack of growth at the bottom. Problem is it might rot the stem?

This one didn’t do well over winter. Brown dead patches and som rot. so I chopped it down. It’s com back beautifully.

They both generally always loose their leaves over winter. But think I might chop this one down next spring too, he’s getting a bit leggy.

Knowing how well they respond to a haircut now, I’ll not be so worried about it.

I'm being given an avocado plant today from a lady who has lots. This is her germination method:-
"I peel the brown skin off then wrap them in wet paper and put them in a plastic butter box in a cupboard and forget about them. They all eventually split and grow roots."
I like the "forget about them" advice.

Oh that’s a method I’ve not tried. I’ll try that next time I’ve got an avocado. Thanks

A strange thing I found out about avocados today in the canteen at lunchtime. Apparently humans are the only living being that eat avocado, animals don’t. Has anybody found this out previously?

Not so, according to Duck Duck, several links like https://faunafacts.com/animals/what-eats-avocados/
