If you live outside of the natural area of avocado, growing your own fruit can be quite a challenge. For a tree to produce a fruit it can take about 3-4 years but from seed - up to 10 years.
Avocado plant is a minimalistic, yet graceful decorative houseplant. The avocado plant will delight you with large, oval leaves that fit snugly in your palms and small, freshly sprouted leaves that will surprise you with their softness. Next time you cut open an avocado, don't throw away the seed but grow a new green friend.
