We started our avocado from a pit a little more than a year ago. Once the roots came out and the foliage began to show we planted it into a small pot. Shortly into Spring we put it outside where it got direct sun from then to now. We transplanted it into its current pot, and although it seemed to go into a mild shock, it has flourished. It stands right at 5 feet. We were judicious with fertilizer. As you can see from the photo there have been 5 branches sprout which are doing extremely well. My question is, do I need to prune or trim our tree? and, do we need to bring it in for the winter months? We live at elevation so it will freeze up here, and hard, before it does in the Willamette Valley. I do know that I'm going to be tying it so the wind doesn't rip it up. I'm thinking I most likely won't be trimming/pruning this year but if I need to when should I do that. Thanks for any feedback I can get.
