I used one pit and it grew into a lovely tree with very nice fruit. It took about 6 years before we had good fruit, it was many years ago so I can't remember exactly how long it took. It was a pitty I lost my tree when my parents sold the property! However, it is an asset to any garden if you have the space for it. Many thanks. I did this as a project when I was a kid.

The one I had the most success with (the tree grew to about five feet in our house before we had to plant it in my sisters yard) was growing it in soil in a warm dark place. It was the only tree that really took off, at least in my trials. Granted, it was winter and quite snowy, so my water trials were no doubt affected by the lack of warm sunshine.

And ya know, it's not a tragedy if a pit doesn't sprout...it just means you need to make more guacamole and try again. ;) Cheers! +Jessie Thanks, Heidi!
