Avacado Tree from seed anyone?
Comments (15)I have done this several times. No pictures. The time required for some visible proof that the seed is developing depends on many factors. In my opinion, the most important element is how ripe the fruit was when you removed the pit. Avacados are a bit unusual in that they continue to ripen even after harvesting. That process includes seed maturity. I learned to allow an avacado to become overripe ...even mushy...before removing the seed. I've had these seeds take less than a week to several weeks. Just keep it in a warm, sunny location and remember to water occasionally. If you water TOO frequently, though, the seed can rot....See MoreAnyone have real experience with fruit trees from seed?
Comments (8)beaverbrewer, i germinated my 1st apples this year by simply planting my seeds from a freshly eaten apple 2 weeks previous of planting. i believe they were stratified in cold storage. about a 50% germination rate. cameo and gala seeds used. i have had success with plums this spring by planting seeds in containers and then burying them in the ground last fall. momma nature taking care of stratifying and germination. can't give u a germ. rate as i'm getting more and more everyday. i failed growing them indoors. i stratified the seeds in the fridge , but after 2-3 months none popped up and i tossed them. in retrospect i may not have given them enough time to show themselves as i'm getting the "outside" plums just now. from personal experience i give a thumbs up to peaches and plums grown from seed. the best peach i have had the pleasure of eating was from a volunteer. i understand stone fruits stay pretty true to their "roots" pun intended ! wildlifeman...See Moretylecodon: hard to raise from seed?
