Avocados
When I was a kid, we used to stick matchsticks into avocado pips and put them in water, then they would grow quite well and we would transplant them.
It doesn't seem to work so well here (the matchstick/pip stage).
Why?

Re: Avocados
Do avocados need to be grafted onto stronger root stock, like mangos?

Re: Avocados
It is just too hot here, avo's need a cold period to become viable. Chuck them in the fridge for a while before putting them in the water. But don't expect a vigorous tree...

Re: Avocados
Ah, that would explain the lack of fruit.
And perhaps a larger fridge may help...

Re: Avocados
Sometimes the avocados have been sprayed with fungicides or pesticides. I imagine that doesn't help them to be more fertile.vladimir wrote:When I was a kid, we used to stick matchsticks into avocado pips and put them in water, then they would grow quite well and we would transplant them.

How many avocado trees can you fit in a fridge ? Try A/C ?
They grow better in the highlands.
