If I'm going to invest time and yard space to a tree that I hope to get fruit from, I don't mind investing a bit more up front.
So basically, that "free" tree you grew from a pit is not that good a deal. The dwarf varieties can be grown in tubs and more easily protected by covering, or taking inside a porch during cold snaps, or the entire winter. I also prefer dwarf varieties(papaya, banana, avocado) after having several large fruit trees killed by frost. Commercial ones are often bred for cheaper growing, better storage and transport, and are not always the best tasting. Many of the fruit varieties you buy in the grocery store are optimized for commercial production and are not necessarily the best for home growing. Some plants are best if they are grafted. However, if you want an effective and productive way to get fruit, it is worth it to buy a plant that is better suited for home production. This is a great fun and educational way to get a "free" plant. I have so many, I am just going to go ahead and plant a couple outside soon and see what happens, ya never know and if they grow good maybe I can cover them in winter to protect them who knows!! It will probably be a long time since grown from a seed and not in the ground.
#Avocado plant seedling how to
I also learned how to pollenate them myself, just have not had them flower yet to do so. It has 11 leaves and is 28 inches tall also. My second tree is three years old the tree is much thicker and stronger since it was started in the dirt. I never have grafted any yet, I learned how to but haven't yet. I have never pruned it, it has 16 leaves and it is 2 feet and 4 inches tall. My first almost four years old no flowers yet. My first one and second are the tallest and oldest. it is too cold to leave them outside so I put them inside in the winter outside in spring summer and fall.
