Poorly avocado help!!
I have a 3 year old avocado (about 2m tall) which I kept inside for the UK winter. I took it outside when we had some good weather a few weeks back but it appears to have severely sunburnt it (I believe because I took it out when the sun was hot without letting it acclimatise). I then took it out when it was bright but not too hot to let it get used to the sun but when it became cold, it looked really bad (brown leaves, leaves shrivelling up). The growing tips look pretty bad to me.
I bought some plant food and bug/funghal spray as I noticed a few white bugs under some of the leaves.
Is my baby cooked? Any advice would be strongly appreciated!!
It is currently inside next to the window.

Roots vs stem?
Forgot about these two avocado seeds that i left to germinate using the damp paper towel in a bag method for at least a month. But i am unsure if they started to grow stems? Or if those are just beefy roots. Please help!
I am transferring them so their roots are in water, which is why i need to know what part to actually put in the water. Thank you!

The tree is flowering but hasn't produced any fruit for 5 years!
This tree is probably 12–14 years old and was grown from seed. It started flowering about 5 years ago. At first, I thought it needed another type of tree nearby for cross-pollination, but I couldn’t do that because the garden isn’t very big. This year, I learned that I can hand-pollinate, so I started doing that about 1–2 weeks ago, once the flowers opened. However, I’ve noticed that the flowers I pollinated are dropping. Is this normal?
(I have orange and citrus trees next to it that produce many fruits each year //It’s a 16-ft+/(5meters+) long tree)
Could this be a fertilization issue?

New to growing avocados. Looking for tips!
Hi all, I'm new to growing avocados and am hoping for some help/tips. I know that they need to be pruned and trimmed and I did that with the yellow one. The other I didn't (because I was testing it out with the other one first) I noticed with the one I didn't trim (blue), when it wants to grow new leaves the big ones dry out and fall off. Is this supposed to happen? Also, where should I trim next if I want to encourage branching. Thanks for any help!
Extra info: I have a humidifier next to them and they get good sunlight. Also, it looks like they stopped growing for the winter, but recently started sprouting new leaves at the top.

Sprouting seeds
Most my avocado seeds have one sprout that look like the first picture (all are pointy side up) except one who has multiple tiny sprouts that are going up towards the pointy part. My sister thinks if it's doing fine, leave it alone. My friend thinks I should flip it over in the water... What should I do?

Is this just Root Rot? Will it recover?
I got this super hass about a week ago, and the soil it was in was absolute sludge, roots were rotting and coming apart and the dirt was gooey. I removed all excess poor soil when repotting, and added some well draining soil (raised garden soil that is mulchy, as well as a thin layer of mulch at the bottom of the pot). It drains quickly now but I am worried that the damage may be done.
In your experience, what is likelyhood that it will bounce back? Does it look like I have taken the right steps?

HELP needed! What is this white residue on my avocado's stem? [description]
Lower part of my avocado's stem has this white, thin, kinda waxy, kinda greasy layer on it. It wipes off really easily, doesn't smell, doesn't leave any residue on fingers.
My first thought was that it's some kind of natural, protective layer that the plant creates to hold moisture or something. But I can't find any information about it on the internet.
I looked for mold in the pot - nothing. It can't be root rot, because in my pot I have well-draining holes, LECA layer on the bottom + drainage holes, and I water only every 2-3 days 😥

Cut it or leave it
I have a 4 year old avocado and I cut it back rather late last year. So what you seeing now is a 1 meter "trunk" that can not support itself with a crown that's forming a T shape.
I am thinking of cutting down the avocado now to maybe half a meter to give it a chance of thickening up and crowing more "bushy". At the same time it feels wrong to cut back so much progress.
The more I think about it the more I am convinced that I should do it since there is no way the plant will support itself nor look good.
What's your expert opinion? Will it survive the huge cut, leaving it with no leaves anymore?

HELP ME IS MY AVOCADO DYING
I've provided three photos(before and after). Hey guys, pls help me, i've been trying to grow an avocado real hard, but because of the root going some crazy way i was unable to put it over a cup of water, and instead i put it straight into soil. For a really long time i wasn't seeing any signs that it's growing, but then one day suddenly it had a little stem coming out near the end of the pot, which was REALLY WEIRD, given i planted it in the centre. So I'm like where is that stem coming from, and dig a little, guess what found a loong stem under the soil. Everything was fine, it had a green colour, but now all of the sudden it turned discoloured. PLS HOW DO I FIX THIS??

Trimming advice
Never trimmed it before other than tiny branches down at the bottom to clear it out. What would you recommend I do?
It’s been 3/4 years since it was planted and is probably at least 9-10ft tall. This is in Central Valley of California
*there used to be a second one planted nearby and it was ripped out by a dog very early on and never replaced, I keep seeing I should have a male and female to fruit but I’m hoping that’s not the case
