Growing from seed A and B flowers on same tree

3 Upvotes

my tree flowered for the first time this month and happy to report hand pollination has resulted in some tiny baby avos already visible

but i noticed during my twice daily trips out to the tree with my paint brush that my tree did not seem to be either A or B in terms of flowering pattern. i would often see both gender flowers fully open in the afternoon. not like some partially shutting from the morning

is that unusual or just because it is a young tree and it will settle into it?

i thought i was imagining it the first time but happened repeatedly

Growing from seed What’s going on with my plant?

Growth had seemingly stopped for a while and lately I’ve noticed the leaves are looking like this. Some new leaves just appeared but I’m worried about the health of the plant. I started from a seed about a year ago.

I had been dealing with an issue of fungus gnats and I’ve successfully eradicated them about a month ago. I was watering with “mosquito bits” to help kill then and I’m wondering if that chemical plus tap water has hurt the plant? Prior to this it went 2 weeks without watering when I went on a trip and I’ve watered only once since.
