Avacado

I didn't really planted this tree! may be i ate the fruit and throw the avacado seed in the garden sometimes ago. Suprisingly the seed germinated and have grow up now!



From what i know Avacado is a big tree! I don't think it's suitable for my garden if it's too huge. Anyone have experience planting avacado? i don't have the heart to uproot the tree......Hmm..... let's see the progress!

  1. Hi! I like your avocado tree. I grew one from a leftover seed. Today it is huge and at my dad's house in Hawaii. Here's a post about it

  2. I tried to plant them which I brought back from my holidays in Jakarta, but none germinated! You should let it grow to see whether it will bear avocado fruits later. Maybe regular trimming will make it not too big and tall but bushy instead.

  3. My mom will be very jelous. She bought back some avocado seeds from here but none germinate. What a nice gift from the garden. We had a fig tree growing too during spring which the birds brought the seeds to our garden.

  4. I didn't know they can grow here. Why not grow it in a huge flower pot to control the size?

  7. I planted a apple tree a few weeks ago. The seed germinated inside an apple.

    It is still growing.

  8. Malar, as I know, it is not easy to grow foreign Avocado trees in Malaysian soil. However, there are some cultivated especially to grow in our climate. Dr. Francis Ng has written about it in this blog. The links are as follows:
