I has always thought that trees have innate intelligence, but one of our two avocado trees is doing its best to prove me wrong. The last time it bore fruit heavily, it had so much weight on this branch that I had to put a board underneath so that it wouldn’t break. And now this.
A little skinny twig forks, one side becoming hugely thicker, then doing a 180 and growing upwards.
Really. Where did this tree go to school?
