| Can I fit 3-4 avocado trees in this space? I'm thinking of putting in 2 reeds and 1-2 bacon avocados. I'm not familiar with avocado trees. I'd like to screen my neighbors view into our property and have fruit trees at the same time. I'm worried the avocado roots might bring up the pavers but they're on cement pads with rebar so I don't think I should be too worried. The area is 35 feet long and tapers from 5-6 feet to 3-4 feet. It's the dirt area next to the wheel barrel and has white box with wood on top of it against the retaining wall. Thanks! |

| Sure, you could plant the trees there. I would plan on keeping them heavily pruned to the shape that best screens the neighbors while still fitting next to the wall, all while not letting them get too high. I would also plan on the pavers raising up eventually though keeping the tree size controlled to about 7 feet should jeep the roots on the smaller side. Were you set on the 2 varieties? Adding 4 different varieties can give you great tasting fruit for a longer portion of the avocado season. A fuerte would be good in there. The branches have a spreading habit so pruning would be a necessity. |

| They have semidwarf avos now. I bought two at HD a couple years ago. |
