generally you only trim the lower branches of an avocado tree. They're a very soft wood and as they age the lower limbs tend to droop. When they get close to the ground, so the leaves, wood or fruit will touch, cut the limb off completely. You can seal the cut with tar made for trees.
One good web site, easy to read, is better homes and garden (WWW.BHG.COM). Lots of information on avocado trees including fertilizers.
