Picture Update on the Avocado Tree

This tree is about 18 months old at this point. Notice the extensive root growth almost filling the vase.

Frozen Tree

Due to an unusually cold La Niña winter, the avocado tree that I planted has frozen and died. I tried to cover it with a Styrofoam box to keep it warm but it wasn't enough. We had temperatures that dipped as low as 17° F one night. I'm still growing several trees indoors. These can be planted when a good El Niño winter comes back with warmer and rainier weather.
