It is possible to grow avocado trees right from the seeds, but whether or not they will bear fruit is the question. Some folks online believe that these avocado trees must be grafted in order to produce. I think the problem is most people try to grow one tree indoors, and never plant it outside. With no chance of pollination, there will be no chance of fruit. I'm gonna make multiple attempts at growing avocados from seeds and see how they do.
What climates do avocados grow in? Probably not northeast US
ReplyDeleteThey don't tolerate freezing temperatures, and prefer the Mediterranean climates. Even in Texas here we get some frost so I will have to babysit my trees each winter. Here is a picture of where Avocados are grown for major production, and surprisingly enough it shows that NE US has a pretty decent output (as of 2005)
