Like I said, avocado trees say..."Come back and fight! It's only a flesh wound".
Avocado trees are amazingly resilient. I had a bunch of Fuerte variety trees. They have little commercial value anymore. My grounds keeper cut them down to 12" stumps, sliced the top with a machete, and stuck two Hass variety branches in each. Three years later I have beautiful bushy trees loaded with HAAS avocados.
