An Avocado Tree's New Home

I finally decided (okay, got around to) planting my avocado tree in a real pot.



I think he looks happy in his new home. I know the pot is a little bit big for him, but I needed a very deep pot in order to have room for his incredibly long tap root.  And this way I figure that he'll have plenty of room to grow for a while.

I also should let you know that I didn't pinch off his baby leaves, I left for about a week and when I came back his leaves were huge and I just couldn't do it.  Many of the things I read online say that's its important to prune an indoor avocado tree, but with this being my first attempt I'll just see how it goes.
