What are these worth to buy. I have a single plant about 60cm high and around 1.5 years old. Not wanting to sell but was told its worth alot.

if you have grown it from seed ! may take 10- 15 years to fruit, if ever.
Best to get it grafted from a known fruiting plant.
Only grafted plants from reputable growers are worth money.

It's only the grafted plants that are worth lots of money.

If I could jump in this thread - some avocado questions: Any tips for good varieties to plant in Auckland! ANy particular considerations re planting location, ideal growing conditions etc! How long till they should be fruiting! (Assuming a grafted, named variety is used) Thanks

Don't plant it anywhere close to a boundary fence, because the neighbours will pick your fruit.

Robitybob, If it's from a seed it's worthless. Cindarellaetc, Hass or Reed. Only deep free draining soils. From 2 years.

Cheers for that. Think my soil may be a bit gluggy at present, will have to think about remedies.

In that case its worth the enjoyment and experience it has given you, to grow from seed, and as an attractive pot plant. Last time I looked the grafted named ones were around $40 each at the nursery, but that is quite a while ago now.

If your soil is 'gluggy' then forget avocados.
