This is how the avocado looks at the moment. It’s about one and a half years old. All the leaves and half the height has grown this summer.
I don’t want it to become too big next year.
Do I prune? Or root prune? What to remove? Do I do it now when it’s dormant or right before the growing period next year?

The problem is that the avocado is a tree. Potentially quite a big tree. So there isn't a straight forward way to maintain it as a house plant, at a suitable size.

Some tree species can be trained into bonsai, but it's quite a complex process and I've not known of bonsai avocado trees.
