    Avocados need nitrogen, first and foremost, and a little zinc. You can use a citrus tree fertilizer as an avocado fertilizer, or go organic and use compost, coffee, fish emulsion, etc.

    I have 6 to 9 fruit on a shoot, will they be to heavy to grow without breaking ?
    Community Answer
    Depends on what type of fruit. The different types of fruits can affect it. If it is a cherry or plum tree, then you shouldn't worry about it but if it is a mango, apple, orange, or any other big heavy fruit tree, then you should remove them or support them with something to relieve the pressure on the shoot.

    It really depends on what pH balance your soil is. You can send your soil off to be tested, or get a test kit for at home. Then, you can determine where to go from there.

    My mango tree has produced a bumper crop of over 120 mangoes, average weight 800gms but of late it flowers profusely, produces lots of little fruits, which all fall off over a period.

    It may because the plant green branches are too weak to hold the fruit...or the fruit is too deficient. You can try tying the fruit connected with the branches to a strong support and leave it.

    No, but if you want to maintain the beautification of your tree, then there is no harm. However, don't prune too much, as it would need to recover.

    Best time of day to prune fruit trees?

    Any time is fine, preferably in the morning so it can dry in the sun if the day is warm. However, there’s no right or wrong time of day really.
