How To Grow An Avocado Tree for Endless Organic Avocados
by Real Farmacy
Avocados are highly nutritious and flavored, whether we’re talking about salad, guacamole, or straight up! They are a key staple for a nutritious and delicious diet. Try growing an avocado tree at home if you don’t like making regular trips to the grocery store for your daily supply of fresh avocados, can’t find organic ones, or are fed up with spending so much for quality produce. It’s surprisingly easy. You will see how you too can get a full–grown avocado tree from a little seed in 10 easy steps. Here’s what you need to do:
STEP 1
Remove the seed and gently wash off any fruit stuck to it to prevent molding. Soaking the pit for a few minutes in some water first will make this task easier. Be careful NOT to remove the brown skin from the pit!
STEP 2
Placement: You’ll notice it is not a perfect round shape. All avocado pits have a bottom and top side. The future roots will grow from the ‘bottom’, and the sprout will emerge from the ‘top’. You can easily distinguish which is which by noting the slightly pointier end, that is the top. On the opposite broader side is the bottom which will have a flatter shape. It’s important to place the bottom pointing down so the roots will begin to gently grow in line with gravity. You want approximately the bottom 1/4 of the seed to be submerged. More on this later.
