Fruit from avocado from seed

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

I'm sure that this topic has been discussed and the horse has been beaten many times before on this subject but I couldn't find much results, so I'm here to ask. Will avocado trees grown from seeds ( fruit purchased from grocery store) produce fruit? I currently have 5 seedlings/trees; the oldest being 3 maybe 4 years old and the rest younger. I don't mind if it takes many years but I'm just curious to if they ever will.

They will, BUT it's a gamble as to if it will be a good fruit or straight crap. But if you do, be confident... My father grew his tree from a seed and 10 years later, it grew one of the best florida avos I've ever had. So it will be hit & miss. Who knows, maybe you will come up with a new variety!

Sorry misread. You bought fruit.

graft it and you don't have to worry about fruiting.

take a graft from one and put it on another.

do all of them. You may have to repeat some.
