I have an Avo (Hass i think) grown from seed - it started well but the leaves have over winter gone yellow.

I have attached a couple of photos

Thank you for contacting Yates.

Avocado is sensitive to alkaline soil, it is best to check the soil pH first and spray the plant with 'Yates Health Tonic Trace Element Chelates' as an easy to use liquid trace element mix. Recommended as a foliar application, this delivers nutrients directly to the deficient leaves for faster results. 

If the soil pH is too high, to help lower your soil pH (making it more acidic), try 'Yates Soil Acidifier Liquid Sulfur'. It helps creates ideal growing conditions for acid loving plants such as camellias, azaleas, magnolias and blueberries. It's an easy-to-use liquid formulation, it can be diluted and applied without the dust and the mess associated with traditional granular products.

Hope this helps and happy gardening :)
