It’s not that they won’t grow, they just won’t produce unless grafted with a plant that is fruiting. The chances of getting a seed that will produce fruit are so small. Grafting also helps them produce more quickly, (within 5 years i think)

"It's never too late" My plants when I don't give them water for 1 day: ☠️

My dad planted avocado when I was 9, and now I am 23, and we enjoy fresh avocados every day on season. Worth all these years of watering and nourishing the tree.

The best time to start growing an avocado tree is 13 years ago but the 2nd best one is today. 😉

My 14 years avocado baby just got two small fruits. Planted them when I was 13 yrs old ❤

I've learned from experience to leave plant people alone when they're doing their thing. As long as they're not hurting anyone, just leave them with their plants and quietly walk away. Whether their avocado will actually grow is low on the list of priorities

I literally threw an avocado seed in my yard (in Florida) and it started growing! No prep, no nothing. However, my landlord cut it with the lawnmower months later. I weeped.

her voice makes me so happy and I have no clue why☠️

My dad grew avocados from seed when I was born :) by the time I was in high school the tree was huge and produced so many avos we didn’t know what to do

“Mom I want some avocado” “Ok honey just wait 13 years”

I grew an avocado plant for one of my aunts, and it's now a huge tree in her backyard, bearing fruit for the past 3-4 years. It took me no time to grow it from a seed to a small sapling, to now a fruit bearing tree. You absolutely can grow avocado trees from seed. Especially the kind you have here.

Plant that now!!! I have avocado trees and I grew them all from seed. They produce fruit naturally in a hot climate in 5 years but in a year with grafting. You can graft them to speed the fruiting process

My grandma grew avocados from seed more than 10 years ago and now we have a big avocado tree on our backyard.Every year we get to harvest atleast 80 large sized avocados.Every once in a year the tree grows too many avocados that the branches start to tilt down,my grandma also has a few more trees that she grew herself ,like, guava , papaya ,pomelo ,mango , guyabano , rambutan , bananas and jackfruits. :)

I planted two avocado seeds directly into soil a year and a half ago and now I have two 4 ft trees chilling on my patio. I’m not sure if they will ever produce or how they will taste or whatever but it was a really fun experiment and I can’t wait to see how they end up ✨🌿

I have had 1 for 5 years so far, Hoping that this next year renders a harvest.🤞

The patience she has... I just can't😅🫡🥲

Even if the avocado doesn't fruit, it's a beautiful plant.

It's true, you gotta graft them. I'm from Fallbrook, CA. Avocados is what we do. It'll be easier for you to read about it, rather than waiting 20 yrs to say, "they were right". Plus, even if there was a chance, its not likely to flower in Canada. No flower, no fruit. Too far north, too cold. Truss me mon. No hate, just... you know. Good on you, carry on

Process, time and patience give you the most beautiful gifts keep going

i’m on my first month of planting my avocado, i was so excited when i saw my first little root and was able to put it in water

The chances of the avocados tasting good from that seed is astronomically small. The seeds genes are mixed up compared to the genes of the tree it came from. So like a child, it is going to be different than the parents.

My parents grow 2 avocado trees from seed and now they already produce so much fruit than what our family can eat, and yes it's worth it😄

Oh my God, you brought back a memory I had with my grandpa thank you so much!

I got an avocado from Denmark and brought it back to India with me. I have no idea what kind of a variety it is but it grew SO fast. Like within a month, a 30 cm plant.

“Come back for-” *evaporates*

The reason why people who grow things give a lot of unsolicited advice, is because it takes a lot of time and effort to learn those things and they want to a)show others the things they have learned, b) make sure you dont get stuck and waste your time like they did. Good luck on your avocado journey!

you can grow them from seed but generally you’ll have a heartier wood stock and the fruiting plant graphted onto that. this is part of the reason avocados are more expensive than other fruits

We used to have an avocado tree in our old house and every summer we'd have so much avocado than we need. My mom would make a simple desert with avocado, ice, sugar and milk, it's really refreshing ✨

“come back for-“ FOR WHAT!!

they can grow from seeds, but just like apple, they won't produce the same avocado, it's not a 'true seed', Your chances to get good avocado from seeds are 1:30,000. On apple it is higher which is 1:50,000. So if you're lucky, your seed could be 1 in 30,000, why do you think Avocado farmers don't plant from seeds?

My dad planted avocado 6 years ago and it has bore fruit for the past 3 years already. The first year it had fruit we only got two (which I think he also planted cause we have two avocado trees now). Last year we harvested around 20 pcs of fruits and this year we harvested so much more than that and we shared it with our neighbours.

Me and my dad were growing two avocado trees, but sadly I had to sell them as I was moving house, I enjoyed all of the awesome times a had growing it and I had also grew a mango tree, they were all sold and I felt very sad. But it was so fun to experience all of that. It is true, you can grow your own fruits from a seedling.

Avocados are one of those plants that won't taste like the avocado it came from this is why you have crab apple trees all over. Someone decided to plant a honey crisp apple only for it to be a crab apple tree. The chances that you get a good tasting fruit are too crazy to even fathom.

Plant: I'm gonna do a pro gamer move *dies*

I have an Avocado plant I grew from the seed of an avocado I ate. It’s doing great and thriving, it was really easy to get to start growing too. I know it probably won’t give fruit, but it’s fun :)

My mom threw a seed on our yard 6 years ago. We don't have lawn grass and we just kinda let the weeds take over since our neighbors have chickens and love the plants. We noticed a tall plant right next to our indian mango tree and realized it was avocado. My mom cut it down since we doubt it's gonna grow big since it was under the shade of our mango tree. It keeps regrowing since we didn't remove the roots. We now cut it down yearly and it's still persevering to this day.

Long ago when i was born,my mom planted a seed of avacado.now it has grown into a lovely tree and we get a lot of avacados😆

I love your voice, it just sounds like you are great to hang out with

I know someone who has an avocado plant. They only have one, but it pretty much hits the ceiling (~7-8ft). It has yet to produce fruit, but it looks nice in their living room. The plant will never be outside because Canada, summer it would probably be fine but they don’t want to more the plant much either

my bf currently has an avo plant growing in a pot and once we move in together we’re gonna plant it properly (especially since it’s small now). it may take a while to start growing avos but damn it’s so worth the wait

Its better to try it out than to be negative how things should work!🥰 You can do it gurl!

I can just imagine she would’ve said Come back fr- PaRt TwO👹

I planted an avocado seed and it started giving me avocados around 5 years later! I think it depends on the kind of avocado but anyways its great having your own trees 🥑 😊

I grew I tree from a plant. But it took 8 months to get about 1 foot tall! And then I had to cut it 6 inches to give ANY chance to grow a avocado!! It takes time, but it's so rewarding

Honey you don't need to do the water thing. I live in Texas. Just stick half of it in soil and continue to water. And once it grows you can always graft a cutting off a different variety

I mean it's a well known fact that avacado doesn't grow true to seed.

Hi! I am in year 8-9 of growing and avacado from seed! She had an incident and had to regrow a part of her from almost the very bottom, she's taller than me and GORGEOUS! They take a long time to grow, but even if it takes years and years to grow, they are super pretty and very VERY easy to care for, so deffinatly recommend it!

My parents started growing avacados back in my home country Srilanka, and trust me its dry as hell there and when I went back to visit at the age of 8, I saw 12 huge avacados and felt proud as hell and now im turning 13 and I really wanna see em.

So i need to wait 13 years to know the result of my avocado gambling? *sigh

I was gifted a few Cuban avocado, they were huge so I decided to grow the seed. I had 2 grow pretty big and I later gifted one to my moms friend and I kept the other one. I planted that during the seed in beginning of the pandemic so it kinda big now. While I may die before a avocado will ever grow, it will be here for my mom and sister to enjoy one day.

The thing is, if it doesn't fruit properly, or you want a head start, you can graft on a branch from other trees once it's big enough. Personally if that were my goal id plant the seed directly in the ground to develop better tap roots, but it's not a total loss to try.

You can! I have a very tall avocado plant I grew from a seed when I made guacamole like a year ago and it’s thriving!

I got an avocado tree on my back yard That actually produces

You can grow a avocado plant and it is a beautiful plant but you won’t get any avocado’s on it till like eight years and it gets to be a big ten foot tree plant t for the house.. but if you can somehow find a female seed and a male seed and plant them together you might get avocados faster

My dad was able to grow a tree from an avocado pit:] Sadly it froze over not too long ago, but It still holds a lot of good memories because I remember him trying to grow one everytime we made guacamole 😂 It never got around to actually growing avocados, but so fun

My dad is growing avocados. He grew them from the seed and now they are really big like a small tree! It’s been 3 years, we’ve been growing them since 2020

I just plant mine in the ground!

We can grow it from seeds..we have lots at home

We have an avocado tree that my late grandpa planted. I'm planning to plant more avocados soon, it's my fave fruit ❤

Seeing the roots grow on the seed is actually cool

You can get your avocado fruitun within 3-5 years. We were able to grow an avocado from seed years ago, definitely less than 5 years ago, and we've been getting fruit from it since 2021

I have an avocado plant in my kitchen window,it's about a foot tall now, i didn't think it was even going to grow 🤣 it's from a seed from an avocado from wall mart 🤣💯

We've had one we grew from the pit that actually did end up producing good fruit, but we gave that one to an elementary school teacher of mine when it only had a few leaves, that one was the only one that ever grew fruit lol I hope she enjoys the avocados

We've planted and grown countless avocado plants in the garden, and they turn into actual plants. It's actually quite easy. They'll often grow if you just throw them outside. They never last the winter though

I’m growing one and I’ve been doing it for about a month!!!

Her : 13 years from seed Kaby : go's to the store in 5 mins get a avocado🥑

I've been told to have gifted hands cuz I grew avocado plants in 2-3 weeks time. U just need to make sure that the seed is peeled and kept very moist and warm so I used a Ziploc bag with wet cotton ( u gotta trust the process because it will seem to be spoiled but the root sprouts super quick this way) then I transferred to a small pot with lightly fertilized soil and a Ziploc bag over it and that worked for me

When I was 7yo I grew my own avocado but after 1month it already died 😭

I have an avocado tree that my grandparents grew I'll ask them how they did it

I think seeing roots from plants looks better than seeing the actual plant

As someone with six avocado trees in my yard that grew from seed, don't worry it will bear. Grafting makes the trees bear faster true, but you can absolutely get great fruit from one grown from seed. Where I come from most people save the seeds and plant them in the ground if they really like that specific type of avocado and they grow perfectly, it just means you have a long wait ahead of you, but it's worth it.

“Come back for *cuts*” me: for what?

Alot of fruit won't grow true to type/seed and 13 years for an avocado to only taste discussing is a long time

I grew a Mini Avocado Tree for 8 months so now im sad it will take so long for actual Avocados to grow :(

A suggestion is seed many avocados at different time so that way you can have plenty when your first avocado tree is spent. That's how I do it in my home

My dad has tried to grow avocados for years now. They've never worked out.

Im not trying to be mean but you won’t get very good avocados from that you need a piece of a tree that is already grown. The avocados will be flavorless and maybe even tart.

Hey I just wanted to say that those white spots all over the stem are actually mold. It won't effect the plant too bad it's just a good thing to keep in mind

I remember two years ago my mum started growing an avocado from seed and now it's as tall as my arm!

I have a avocado tree in my room and it's about 4 feet tall not including the roots and it's been about 4 or 5 years

It’s going to grow a inedible 🥑

I germinated an avocado seed in 2017, and this spring it is bearing its first fruits. The tree is now almost 3 meters tall and is filled with hundreds of small avocados! I am excited to try them!

Avocados, like apples need to be grafted. The genetic information in the seed is not identical to the tree it came from.

"I won't believe it until I see it" Shut up! Don't be so naive, it is incredibly hard to grow avocadoes so that they produce a fruit.

I helped my grandfather plant his avocado tree when i was like 6, i’m 15 now and the tree has been bearing fruit for the last 4 years. I made a killed guacamole the first time it produced,i got the first avocado

We used to have a giant avocado tree, every spring there would be avocado flowers near the tree and when they were ripe, we’d pick them, and they were so good

we used to have 4 avocado trees in our backyard, they were all healthy and productive and it all started from some seeds.

In 1st grade i remember planting an avacado tree havent seen it since hope its doing good.

We have an avocado tree in the backyard and the avocados are soooo good, definitely try growing some if you have enough patience lol

i’ve done this it’s still growing it works trust me

I have an avocado plant in my yard, it's been there since I was little, because my grandparents planted it when they built the house and moved here, when my mom was 10. It's been nearly 40 years since, they had to wait but we eventually got avocados and we get them once, sometimes twice yearly now. And we've grown many plants from the seeds, one of which is getting rather large, although it has a good few more years until it produces anything. It is possible, you just have to wait a really long time

my great grandmother grew an avocado tree in her New York apartment for years . because of the changing seasons it never gave off any fruit but it didn't stop the big ass tree to hunch over once it had reached the roof. after her death, shortly before my lil sister was born, the tree had started to wither and was considered a safety hazard if it would start getting root rot. Since no one was willing to care for it, it was cut down and removed from our old building. Nobody could grow and save plants like that amazing woman could. And as my sister grows up, i see that they both share that amazing gift to nurture life.Thats probably why they share the same name.

My mum is growing an avocado to the avocados is doing great I hope you’re avocados grows well❤

My grandma is such a green thumb, when I was little I would see her cups and bags of growing fruits. She loves her plants ❤ and we’re from a tropical island so avocados are her favorites along with plantains. She complains to me about the tree chickens eating her stuff 😂💀 (iguanas)

When I was in primary. One of my teachers was obsessed with plants and he had an avocado plant grown from a seed with a shoot a good metre high 😂

You absolutely can grow an avocado tree from a seed. Our family has a tree thats about 15 or 16 years old that we grew from a seed and its given us 3-4 big harvests so far

I work at Chipotle and sometimes when I have to sweep behind stuff it's often that I'll find like a really old avocado seed that was in the back somewhere and I've seen many ones with sprouts

It’s really cool how they grow. Soon the house that I’m moving into within a month will have at least 6 avocados that are ripe so I’m excited to try fresh avocados sand not store bought ones.

Growing almost as long as your fingernails! How do you do it!?? I’m so jealous

It seems like everyone is putting avocado seeds in water first but for me it worked great to put the seeds directly into soil. Just making sure the soil is never dry. But idk maybe it makes a difference to do it the water way....
