What happens to Avocado Pits when you bury them with Food Scraps in an UNDERGROUND Compost pile

Do you eat avocados? On this episode, I will show you how to grow endless Avocado trees without even making any effort. Simply by burying them with your food scraps and some leaves or dry materials. The soil will become very rich and fertile as it breaks down and worms turn it into worm castings. Then the avocado pits will begin to grow from even 18" underground. It may take 6 months but they will grow.

They will not produce fruit

Ok Google, remind me in 5 years... 🤣

My mom grew a ginormous one

[@smokerise]

I live in Georgia, anyone know if a avocado tree would grow in my zone?

[@GrowingOrganicTvShow]

check you local nurseries

[@sextustullius]

They will be almost certainly useless without proper grafting from cultivars.
Surely you know this?

[@jared8268]

That’s not entirely correct. A seedling avocado will take at least a decade to bear fruit (and it may never bear fruit). Once the seedling bears fruit, it will most likely be poor quality, but there are plenty of examples of seedling trees that turned out producing good fruit. It can happen. It just doesn’t happen very often.

@@jared8268 Let’s say l gave the short version.
As you say, you’d have to wait up to to years without any idea of what you’d end up getting.
No one would seriously cultivate avocados, or indeed any other fruit that way.

[@jared8268]

You would not cultivate fruit that way. But many backyard avo growers prefer to start their trees from homegrown seedlings. They let the seedling tree accommodate to their local conditions and then graft on the fruiting variety, sometimes many varieties. In extremely hot / dry summary climates like where I live, seedling grown grafted trees outperform the greenhouse grown trees you get from nurseries. One of the best varieties for California’s hot / dry Central Valley, the Duke, is believed to have originated from a seedling tree. I understand why someone in a tract housing neighborhood wouldn’t want to bother with growing a seedling avo, but for someone like me with acreage, 100 seedlings planted in ground means that when I choose a tree for grafting, it is a 1 in 100 tree in terms of vigor, disease resistance and most importantly, full sun tolerance. The rest become mulch.
