Abstract
SUMMARY Trees can be temporarily stimulated by ringbarking of main branches to increase production one year before trees are removed provided that trees are healthy, but a smaller ring is suggested to avoid prematurely killing the trees. The thinned tree's root system should be killed to prevent root competition. Pruning of avocado trees depresses the yield and is not recommended.
