Except for seeded avocados, this is my very first serious avocado and
right now the buds are closed tight. I was under the impression, tho,
that it would be a couple of years before it would flower - but I've
seen avocado leaf buds and these sure don't look like leaf buds.

As a new acquisition, should I allow it to continue to flower, or should
I nip the buds? I plan on potting it up into a 25 gallon container, but
am not sure if I should if I keep the flowers. Then again, it may be
wise to pot it up before it tries to set fruit.

Be well,
Mike
