  • how old is this plant here in your video? about how much do they grow each year?.... how BIG will it get?

  • @gnarlez If you're one of the many that managed to sprout a Haas avocado from seed, consider yourself one of the very few that managed to get a fruit. The Haas avocado is extremely difficult to germinate. You need to have several trees of basically the same age in close proximity to each other and even then, you need bees to pollinate the female trees. Your better off starting from scratch with a Mexican thin skin variety from a nursery.

  • My 20 foot tree has only had avocado once in 20 years. what do i do?

  • send that illegal avocado plant back to mexico. god dammit! first it was the mexicans, now it´s mexican plants!

  • Well, my question is if you start an avocado plant from a seed from inside of another avocado, will it produce more avocado??? I would assume this works, but with all the crap that's going on with our foods these days and with the crap in our soil, I am wondering if these still yield any fruit. Can someone help me? I just started an avocado seed tonight and I heard it takes about 2 months or so for it to grow a trunk and then mature from there. If you can help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

  • I was just wonderinng if I plainted a avocado seed will it grow avocadoes on the tree or will it just be a tree

  • @JesusACruz64

  • 7-10 years???? bloody hell I'll stick with $1.49/ea at the farmers market.

  • Mr. Greem thumb just got a red thumb.
