Avocado: Not blooming where it was planted

Visiting the plant center…

.

What ails thee?

Haas: The avocado shriveled. I have a photo.

.

Nurseryman (drawing a finger over the print): Maybe a fungus. Possibly caused by overwatering?

.

Haas: Might have.

.

Nurseryman: They like a well-drained soil.

.

Haas: I planted it three years ago. It did well, but suddenly, this month, all the leaves went black.

.

Nurseryman: Don’t like to say this, but it doesn’t look like he’s going to make it. 😞
