I have an avocado tree in a pot at home. It's looked amazing for a couple of years. This year it had a nasty infestation of greenfly which I dealt with, and now this: something is eating the leaves from the edges inwards. There's no signs of any pests on the leaves. It isn't affecting any other plants around the house.
Can anyone cast any light on what it is, and what I can do about it?
As the snow and freezing temperatures came on a couple of weeks ago, and all the garlic patch was planted, I borrowed a bit of Irish moss from the raised pond bed, and three extra garlic cloves for this little pot.
Not getting a huge amount of sun indoors, but it seems pretty happy.
There's no greater place to look for balcony garden inspiration than RHS Chelsea, and here are 4 entries from this year's show. In my new Balcony and Container Garden category, find out all you need to know from plants that will stand extreme weather to reducing weight.

That bounce-back of my home-grown #tamarind tree is going strong. So great to see it happy again, my little tree.
