My avocado tree started out the cycle with beautiful leaves and lots of fruit, but as time went on, the leaves became brown, and now it has no fruit at all. some of the avocados grew to about 1/3 the normal growth but fell off. I live in the Camarillo Heights. Could it be something lacking in the soil? I'd appreciate any help from you. Thank you.

Hi, It could be the tree is lacking enough water. You might try slow deep watering every seven to ten days. I hope that helps!
