Hi. I planted a grafted Havocado tree about six months ago on our acreage and it is growing well. Recently I noticed that there was a white mold covering about 50% of the trunk and stems but not on the leaves. Would this be caused by all the wet weather we have add lately and I shouldn't worry too much about it or do I need to treat the tree with something?

Hi Claynetta,

Thank you for your question! Unfortunately, Antony (CEO at Avocados Australia and expert for the ‘How to Grow’ Avocado section) is unavailable to answer any more questions at this time. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused and will endeavor to have your question reviewed.

In the meantime, be sure to have a look at the ‘Growing Avocado’ topic in the Talk to A Expert section. Antony has previously answered some ‘avocado tree health’ related questions already, which you may find useful. It’s also a great forum to share any tips or experiences you have had while growing your avocado tree. Thanks!

My grafted avocado tree is now approx 2 years old. I need to know if I can transplant it as we now realize we planted it too close to the kids basketball hoop. This is cemented in the ground so much harder to relocate than the tree. Would it survive if we dug it up and transplanted it?

I had a "tropical avacado" in Florida recently--It was yellow inside, and tasted very sweet (similar to pineapple) Where can I buy them?
