Do you mulch under your tree with the old leaves? Looks very clean.

I can't find any info on skirt lifting an avocado tree. I have a Hass about 17 years old now and this year I decided to heavy prune it so I can walk under it like a huge umbrella. The canopy is about 4m across and looking extremely healthy. As far as mulch goes, I spread a 6cm layer of gap20 metal under it the same width as the canopy, I call it metal mulch, put it down once never have to touch it again. The tree is looking amazing, has just had an autumn flush so I'm guessing a big fruiting year is on the cards. From New Zealand.

Nice prune job. The top looks very level. One question about growing avocados in socal, do you normally whitewash the exposed branches on top after a prune? Here in southern Florida, regardless of season, we need to whitewash newly exposed branches due to the sun intensity. Same with mangoes here.

I’m guessing that tree’s been in the ground about 6-10 years?
