I just ate an avocado that i bought at the grocery store and was wondering if anyone has grown a tree from the seed. Is there anything special i need to do? Im thinking it would be a fun project to see if it will make a nice tree in a pot.
Any info would be great

Many people, myself included, have grown them half immersed in a glass of water. But then you only get the water roots and when transferred to a pot of soil the plant usually dies. These two sites tell how to plant them in soil and give them a better start.

In the tropics, growing avocado tree is never a problem. In fact, the seeds would grow where they are put. Mr. Green
