Avocado trees can be trained into bonsai. Once the leaves have developed, you should trim the stem to maintain the shape of the bonsai. These plants can grow to ten inches or more, so you should be careful not to over prune them. A well-maintained avocado tree can be enjoyed for many years and is perfect for a small space.
Avocado plants can be trained using pliable wire. It is important to use a wire that is just large enough to wrap around the branch without causing it to break. Another option is to use fishing line. This wire is flexible and can be easily bent to train the branch. This method should be done once or twice a year.
After planting your bonsai avocado tree, make sure to water it regularly. The avocado plant needs two inches of water per week. During the early stages of growth, you can keep the trunk wrapped with a blanket to protect it from cold winds and rain. However, once the tree matures, it will be more difficult to wrap its trunk. In addition, you need to keep it moist through the blooming period and till the fruit ripens.
The avocado tree is a challenging fruit to grow as a bonsai, so make sure you prune it frequently. The best time to prune your avocado tree is when the stem has begun to produce leaves. You can also prune it to keep the trunk firm. To do this, make sure you sterilize the pruning scissors by soaking them in a 10% bleach solution.
