My Avocado tree Has a Brown top what could it be and what...

Hi Adrian! Are you in Austria! If so I have some good info for your Avocado in your area. “A brown top on a mini avocado tree is usually caused by salt burn (from fertilizer or tap water), root rot from overwatering, or sunburn. Because mini trees are grown in small pots, the root zone is highly sensitive to moisture and mineral imbalances. “. This next part is what I got from Google after putting where you live. * Temperature & Overwintering: Avocados cannot tolerate freezing temperatures. Since Burgenland experiences cold, frosty winters, your tree must live indoors from roughly October through April. Keep it in a bright room where temperatures stay between 10°C and 15°C to allow the tree a period of winter dormancy. Sunlight: Avocados love the sun. When outdoors, place your tree in a spot with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight. If kept indoors during winter, ensure it sits by a bright south-facing window or use full-spectrum grow lights to prevent the branches from becoming weak and leggy. Watering: Avocados are sensitive to both drought and over-watering. Water your tree deeply, then allow the top 2.5 to 5 cm (1 to 2 inches) of soil to dry out completely before watering again. Excellent drainage is essential to prevent root rot. Fertilization: Feed your tree with a balanced, slow-release citrus and avocado fertilizer 3-4 times from spring through mid-summer. Do not fertilize late in the fall, as this encourages soft, vulnerable new growth right before the winter. . Pruning: To keep your tree compact and mini, prune the growing tips when it hits about 30 cm (12 inches) to encourage bushier branching. Annual pruning should be done in late winter to maintain its size and encourage new fruiting wood. I hope this helps 🪴💕
