We went out for less than a hour today and came home to our Avocado tree down. Broke at the base. It has been so dry and i have been watering a lot here. Had a little sprikle a few times today and a little thunder. We had to have had some wind because other things are in differnt places but to take a 12 foot or larger tree down? It had tiny little avocados on it too. So sad we are. Our first Avocados :(
