I have been working on a project for which I have been using my BSTree. Now, I have discovered that my tree is turning out to be horrifically unbalanced, thus my decision to convert to an AVL tree .
Problem is, Im not sure if it possible to create an AVL tree from my BSTree and then convert to the AVL tree without disrupting everything else.
Cheers

If your BSTree follows the guidelines of encapsulation then it shouldn't matter what implementation you use as long as you meet the requirements of the interface. For a simple tree, that means fixing the node structure so that it has a balance member and replacing the insertion and deletion code with AVL algorithms. None of that should require changes in the client code.
