hi i wonder if any one can help me is it possible to grow advacardos from a stone/seed if it is how do i go about it please help thanks monty
Ola, monty, not sure I've welcomed you to GC yet! I've got two I've done from the stone and it's easey peasey. With you there in blighty, put a stone dipping in water (perhaps an egg cup or similar) in a warm sunny windowsill and watch it! Here with my two, I just stuck them in an old Bristol sink in a shady spot that is kept moist and they shooted within a month or so. I have the two, one two years old now and the other just one. I understand you need more than one to get fruit but I can't confirm that yet. They apparently can fruit (here) after three-five years! Watch this space. Enjoy the site!
much the same as lady of leisure (lucky blighter! ) i got mine going by sticking 3 cocktail sticks in the side of the stone and letting the base just touch the water in a jar. but, much to my annoyance, one of my colleagues brought in an avacardo which had germinated on her compost heap. and it looked better than mine :( anyway, i will grow these on pot them up and leave one outside all summer and put one in my new tropical border in a glasshouse, just to see what happens
Hi, stez! I really think the thing with avocados is damp shade to get them going, honestly. Like I've said, I've got my two now, one year apar as I uderstand you need two to get fruit! ???? I'll keep eveyone posted on how mine go and good luck to the rest of you!
I think you'll be okay, monty. Just not sure you'll get the fruit but you may have a lovely tree. Keep us posted!
