for those that want to grow dwarf avocado trees,here's my experience with avocados.
i bought a gwen avocado which is supposed to be a semi dwarf.the tree is now about 9yrs old and has given me lots of fruit,but here is the good part.
i have kept the tree cut down to about 6 feet and is doing great.year before last i grafted it on to a seedling.my new tree is bout 5 feet tall and is loaded with blossoms.my story is,don't be afraid to keep your trees cut low.
