Home Grown Avocado's
Posted by BooDreaux on 8/21/16 at 4:02 pm241
Started a seed back in 2005 on my porch. 11 years later it has started producing. Here's a few of the first one's from this tree.
Soon to be guacamole and sliced for burger topping
Not as pretty as the store bought, though a whole lot better.

Avocado's are pretty hard to grow in the south with all the rain since they like to dry out a bit before watering again. Its best to put them under a big shade tree. I don't have the patience to wait years to get fruit.

Congrats!
The fruit looks like shite, though. Is that from insects getting to them?
How about slicing one open and posting a pic of the interior?

You can buy a grafted plant/ tree that will produce after a couple of years.

Well, at least in the meantime you have a tree.

Have relatives in McAllen, Texas. When we cross paths they always give me sacks of fresh picked from the grove across the street. Nothing better.

I had one with toothpicks going over a glass in the window for a year. It had sprouted pretty well.
Died in transition to soil. I f'd it up. Never tried again. I will though after seeing this. I'm inspired. I'll bump this thread in 2027.

Wow!
I may not live long enough longer to see one through from seed to fruit.
How many seeds in an avocado? (1)
How many avocadoes in an avocado seed? (Only God Knows)

Great job, Boo. Need to plant one soon. Just got my lemon planted this year.
