LOL,,, ok, the are suspended with the toothpicks , half in the water. Thought

maybe I just got some bad ones. They are from organics so I had hopes. But after

about three weeks now, my hopes began to fade. Thanks, Thai... I will keep

waiting for signs of life.

 

Warm Regards,

Since most modern avocados are hybrids, it is nearly impossible to get

fruit from a tree started from seed. Buying a tree is the best bet. If

you know how you can graft onto the root stock that you are starting in

your window. There are some great dwarf avocado trees now. Check your

local nursery for one that will grow in you neighborhood.

growing avo's from pit (Adrienne)

Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 15:56:27 -0500

Avocados take a *really* long time. I've done two this past year, and

one

took about two months and the other about three and a half, before

showing

any signs of activity. Just keep changing the water! (prop up the

seed

over a glass of water by putting three or four toothpicks into the

side of

it. rest toothpicks on rim of glass. have water come up at least

third way

up seed.)

One of the two didn't make it after it sprouted, the other I started

in may

last year, is only about a foot tall now.

Avo's are a true test of patience!
