update on avocado seed..

wow - good luck with it, I'm excited because I have finally got a banana seed to geminate I'll have to take some photos.

Good luck. I tried once and nothing happened. Later though I did find one starting to grow in my compost heap, but that didnt come of much.
Good luck with yours.

wow that sounds good KF look forward to the pics..
thanks Trees,sorry yours didnt come to much..fancy growing in the compost heap & all the trouble im going to..lol.

that root is so awesome - going to do well by looks of it - best of luck :):):) would like to see how it goes - may try this myself !!

Hi Paul thanks, its worth giving it a go..something different,any fruits from them will not be edible..

I would like to try a hazel nut - if i just follow your steps it will work then ?? I know we have a few hazel trees - but growing your own is a pleasure

i dont have a clue on that one Paul info would be on the net..i tried peanuts this year (packet from seed catalogue) inside was just crushed up peanuts..they never came to anything.would be interesting to find out about hazel nuts though..

well done joan, got further than me when i tried, mine did nothing at all, look forward to watching it grow :o))

will attempt it - very interesting blog this :):)

thanks Sandra, i just hope it keeps going now its planted..i have it in cold greenhouse.. all wrapped up in fleece but started it off indoors.:o)

Cheers Paul,look forward to your pics ..cant wait now lol.

That's very interesting. I tried once but it just rotted. Good luck. I hope you give us further updates :)

Ooh, Joan, that's looking really good! You deserve for it to thrive with all the effort you've put in. Keep the pics coming. : o ))

Thank you Hywel i remember you saying yours did not work out..will keep you updated..:O)
I am pleased with it up to now Shirley keeping fingers x.:o)

well done you ~ your persistance rewarded!! hope you get a whole tree? or is it a bush?

I've never known anyone who's done this before so very good luck with it - it looks as if you're well on your way to a good plant.

Excellent progress report! Keep us informed. :-)

thanks Stick, Mariek & Red..will keep you informed if & when it starts to grow from the top..:o)
