And it will take from 5-15 years to bear the first fruit. And never grow an avocado from the seed from a store bought one.
Always thought about sprouting one from a seed. No good?

It's fun for kids to stick toothpicks in and grow a tree-- Sort of like doing the same with a sweet potato.
It is a common misconception that avocados are diecious; that is, that a tree is either male or female. They are monecious, whereby both sex organs are on one flower. There is avoidance for any given tree to self pollinate. TMI for this discussion. So, the bottom line is that if you want to get a avocado tree, buy one that is grafted to a different tree’s rootstock.
