The outer skin of the stone will dry up and crack, make sure that the water is "just" touching the bottom of the stone though and then be very patient.  oh good, I thought that I had done something wrong |

I did start these way before you guys did  for a long while I thought they were Nectarine or Peach stones that I'd planted but no they are  Has anyone ever grown Advocados before and kept them, I haven't a clue how I should be keeping these. They die right down over winter and throw new shoots each year. Could they fruit in our climate or with some tlc |

I've potted mine up now. But will start another one soon - as more than one is needed to aid pollination - they may not fruit until they are about 4 years old though! |

We have had them growing in the compost too. Some times they grow in the garden where I have dug in the compost....its amazing if I tried to grow them...I bet it would be a right parlava.  |

Has anyone had any success?  Has your patience paid off? |

Well done Rita. I'm afraid I got tired of mine cluttering the kitchen, but I have an avocado in the fridge, so I may have another go.  |
