I planted probably close to a dozen avocado trees before I got one to survive and thrive and they are SO good!!
I went to a nearby housing area where people were always selling from their backyards, and spoke to one older gentleman. He asked "Do you have a rusty nail near the base of the trunk?"
"No, can't really get a trunk large enough that I think I could do such a thing"
"Put the nail in, keeps the gophers from eating the roots"
And the rest is guacamole!!!!
