Avocado trimming help

pepe23
12 years ago

About a year ago I started growing this avocado tree, it's my first experience growing a tree (or plant of any kind really) so I was pretty confused about the process of trimming it. I picked a spot to do it that I now realize to be a bad one, and it responded by branching in only one direction, making it crooked and off balance.

My question is, is there anything i can do now to try to help it? Will it eventually straighten itself out? I suppose I could try to trim it all the way down again until it does branch where I initially wanted it to, but that seems like it would probably do more harm than good.
