I’d tried growing an avocado from seed several times before but this is the first time I’ve succeeded, at least so far so good. It’s been a very slow process: I first put the seed into water on 30 August last year. It was three weeks later, on 20 September, that the seed split open and I could see something was stirring.
By 11 November 2018 a root had begun to emerge but it has taken another 4 months to get to where it is now, in my third and fourth photos below, which were taken on 5 March. Let’s hope it continues to flourish.
I’ve got one in a pot too, its about 3 years old now. In order to keep it manageable I root pruned it and its stayed about 60cms high. In the summer it goes outside but into the conservatory for winter. Its not a “wow” plant but I just grew it for the novelty.

I’ll remember that about the root pruning. Thanks, Dave.
