Post #4063921

I have grown two avocado trees from seed. I obtained the seeds from the grocery store. The fruits were sold as Hass Avocado.

I now have two trees that have grown right next to each other. One tree is 5 foot and the other is about 4 foot tall.

I am wondering if I messed up! I braided the trees around each other because I thought that they would grow together and pollinate each other. The braid would be aesthetically pleasing.

What I want to know is, should I cut out one of the trees and let one grow on its own? One tree is doing much better than the other, and now is the time that I can probably cut one and get away with it. Any longer, and I'm in for the long haul.

What is your opinion?

Thank you!
