I have a question.
Are two or more Avocado trees
required for fruit to form?
Another question.
If you start an avocado tree from
the pit will it fruit?

Re: Avocado Trees Yes to both questions, with some caveats. A single avocado tree will fruit. However, there are two different flower types. If you plant an avocado tree of "flower type A" near a tree that makes "flower type B" they will both bear more heavily. But from what I understand, a solo tree should make enough for home use. As to the second question, it takes avocado trees 5-7 years to start bearing from seed, and occasionally a seed-grown tree will take much longer. Avocado varieties also cross readily so the fruit size and quality are unknowns until it starts to fruit. Also, it can take a couple of months for a pit to send out roots. (On the other hand, I have also seen pits that started putting out roots inside the fruit.) Last comment: there are several cultivars with enough cold tolerance for your area. But some cultivars are extremely frost-tender. If you buy a tree, you should check its cold tolerance. If you grow seed from a locally-grown avocado, it should be tough enough for your area. Sounds like fun, however you do it. __________________ Laura

Re: Avocado Trees LinFL covered all the basics I would mention, except for a couple of fine points. Avocado trees can reach 40 feet tall, depending on variety, so make sure you have enough space for them (2 trees are better than one), and they won't shade your garden. Avocado trees are also really susceptible to wind damage, so if you live in a windy area, be aware this could be a problem. I'd also buy tree seedlings, instead of trying to root your own from pits. As LinFL pointed out, you don't know what you're getting from a pit, and with 5-7 years invested in a tree before fruiting, there's no point in making a mistake with the variety to save $20 on a tree. __________________ http://www.grow-it-organically.com

Re: Avocado Trees It seems all the avocado trees i see for sale locally are grafted so is suspect there is some reason for that, either disease resistance or variability of seedling fruit. Apparently there are over 900 named varieties so i suspect its variability in quality of fruit from seedlings. Have heard of someone planting one from seed and getting more avocados than they can possibly eat but since that story was also relayed as to why they wouldn't eat them maybe the fruit wasn't so good after all. Fun project but as mentioned they get very large and cover a lot of ground. Theres lots of good info at this site http://homeorchard.ucdavis.edu/Fruits_&_Nuts/Avocado/ Last edited by DavidJP; Yesterday at 11:11 PM..

In your climate it would probably grow, Train, but be sure to buy a decent (grafted) variety to get fruit.

If you start an avocado tree from the pit will it fruit? Train Train...I do not have much knowledge of the Avocado ...but researching this same question many moons ago... I learned that the black-skinned Sabinas-Hidalgo from Mexico will grow quickly from the pit and produce fruit. At that time there was question from the USDA if it could be transported into the US... Not sure today. You are close to Mexico...maybe you can do some research.
