Ever grown an avacado?

[smilingcat]

just stick them in a pot of dirt and keep it moist. It will sprout.

Avocado trees are really finicky and you do need two trees. You can keep them pretty small about 10-15 feet tall. When my partner had her house, the avocado tree grew to be about 25-30 feet tall. low hanging fruit were eaten by her dawgs.

It does need warm climate year round though...

Too hot, it drops fruit,
too cold, it drops fruit,
Too much water, it drops fruit
too little water, it drops fruit
Too windy, it drops fruit...

And if the trunk gets exposed to strong sun, it will get sun burned.

Oh our dogs loved avocados. They didn't care if it was still really green (unripe). We would find the evidence. The pit. the fruit would be chewed off and licked off. Do have to admit, our dawgs had the bestest coat evar...

Another critter that loved avocados were possums. I have a Haas avocado growing from a pit. The new tree will be planted this summer.
