Thank you for sharing this helpful information. When my mother was pregnant with my eldest brother, she craved for avocadoes. She took one of the seeds and planted it. Now our avocado tree is as old as my eldest brother at 53. It is still bearing delicious fruit although not that much anymore. In addition to age, the hot temperatures over the past several years also factor in. Her seeds are now spread in some parts of the country esp. by those who asked for a fruit or two so that they can grow an avocado tree at their backyards or farms.
Huh. I heard somewhere that you won't get any avocados If you take an avocado seed and grow it into an avocado tree. But then I thought, where DO they come from? 😏
Growing avocado seeds is tons of fun but grab a grafted known variety from a local nursery. Growing from seed can make an incredible tree or a god awful tree. Please learn from my mistakes :)
Better yet: Buy a couple grafted trees from a nursery. Use the seeds to grow rootstocks. Cut scion wood from grafted trees purchased from nursery. Graft scion wood to rootstocks. Grow many grafted trees more cheaply and make use of the seeds. Win-win
I live in Hawaii and start avo trees a lot. Frankly some trees may get huge but never bear fruit, but if they do you can get a couple of hundred pounds off them every year. My view is that every town should have a food forest. Grafted is a more sure thing, that is very true.
This is so good to know I was wondering what I was doing wrong. Now I know. Welp I have another avocado and that seed will soon be a tree ….thanks for this video.
Please don't grow Avacados in your back yard. They require more water than other trees once they're flowering. A pot is more sensible since you can control their growth. The best for your backyard would be a local species.
It grows too fast though! i've had one for 3 or 4 years and it's already taller than my ceiling and outside it's 12 ft! Just a heads up for those in the north!
so...if you plant a seed...it grows into plant? wow...I never would have imagined! Also, who digs an avocado pit out of the avocado like that?? And who cuts an avocado in half that way???
i made one myself. at first i was disappointed. it took really long to go and then - boom - leaves. and they fell off basically instantly. then more leaves, also falling off. repeat 5 times. Avocado -> dead. wtf. it suicided! i was very sad.
Plant and wait, chances are it will grow a fruit probably not of your taste. It's easy to plant and take care of it, but genetics will not show their results after a long time. It's just not worth it. Graft a better sample into that small avocado tree and you will be good to go

That's such a cool story. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
@@patpeters6331 Thank you, too, Pat. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Well true but also it’s a very pretty tree. Prune it down and keep it for foliage maybe?
@@ClareAndAlec English isn't my first language, so I couldn't really understand what this means. Is there a youtube vid?
What do you mean by grafted ?
dude this is awfully misleading. avocados are not true to seed. the tree you get will not produce the same fruit you started with.

This is so amazing! Thanks for the information.

How far north?? I’m in western Washington state lol I don’t think we have the right climate here to grow them. Not warm enough.

Answer honestly: Are you a troll?
@@jonthebru honestly no, I really felt this video was pretty pointless. Who doesn't know that if you plant a seed, it will grow?

WHY HAVE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT HOW TO GROW AN AVOCADO 🥑 ONCE IT STARTS TO GROW ? ? ?
i made one myself. at first i was disappointed. it took really long to go and then - boom - leaves. and they fell off basically instantly. then more leaves, also falling off. repeat 5 times. Avocado -> dead. wtf. it suicided! i was very sad.
