Yes, you can grow your own avocado tree from seed. Next time you make avocado toast, instead of throwing the pit in the trash, try growing your own avocado plant. Anyone can do it. Here’s how!
Did you know that the seed or pit of an avocado can be sprouted? It’s a fun activity! Keep in mind: This method does not produce the fruit (that requires pollination!); the result is an interesting and attractive houseplant.
Start with a ripe avocado from the store. (Any type will do.) Be sure you don’t cut into the pit with your knife; just gently remove it. Eat the delicious, nutritious flesh! Wash the pit off with water and allow it to dry for 2 to 3 days.
Avocado pits (aka, seeds) may be started in a glass of water or loose soil mixture. Either will work, but the soil method will provide faster results and will be easier to eventually transplant.
The soil method generally produces faster results. Fill a large container with a porous soil such as a houseplant potting mix or cactus mix (not regular soil!).
Avocado plants grow rapidly. They often have to be discarded because they’ve become too large for indoors!
So what are you doing with the avocado fruit? Here’s a great idea. This is a popular treat in Brazil. Let us know if you like it!
Ingredients:
½ avocado, peeled and pitted
1½ cups milk
½ cup ice
3 tablespoons sugar
Put the ingredients into a blender. Process the mixture on high for about 1 minute. Pour it into a glass and enjoy! Makes 1 serving.

Tasty fruit with excellent benefits for the body.
Very big tree and the seed is always discarded.
Do the trees produce flowers? I understand the need for pollination. We are looking to greenhouse with the idea of ultimate production. Appreciate your info!
