AN avocado will fruit if you wait long enough. I had a self seeded one that gave about 60 a season.

You can grow from seed but they will take at least 7 years to fruit. The fruit will be a cross as the parent plant will have been grafted onto another stock. The fruit will also be thin skinned.

Perhaps if you let it grow and not trim it it may fruit?

[I have 9 growing in pots at the moment].

Hi Graham, I also have one growing in a pot on the deck, from a stone.It won't fruit here in Ch Ch, but maybe I can have it as an indoor plant.
