Avocado (Persea americana) is a tree and the fruit of that tree, classified in the flowering plant family Lauraceae. It is native to Central America and Mexico. The tree grows to 20 m (65 ft), with alternately arranged, evergreen leaves, 12-25 cm long. The flowers are inconspicuous, greenish-yellow, 5-10 mm wide. The pear-shaped fruit is botanically a berry, from 7 to 20 cm long, and weighs between 100 to 1000 g. It has a large central seed, 3 to 5 cm in diameter.

An average avocado tree produces about 120 avocados annually. Commercial orchards produce an average of 7 tonnes per hectare each year, with some orchards achieving 20 tonnes per hectare (FAO statistics). Biennial bearing can be a problem, with heavy crops in one year being followed by poor yields the next. The fruit is sometimes called an avocado pear or alligator pear, due to its shape and rough green skin. The avocado tree does not tolerate freezing temperatures, and so can be grown only in subtropical and tropical climates.

Botanically an avocado is a fruit, culinarily it is a
vegetable. The two definitions of fruit and vegetable are non-congruent. Tomatoes, green
peppers, chili peppers, eggplants, green beans,
sugar peas and squash are also botanically fruits,
but they are still classed as vegetables for food
purposes.

Its a fruit because it contains the ovary of the flower(the seed).

They grow on trees which vary in height from 4 - 15 metres depending on cultivar.

In the superstore, fruits are usually picked out far too soon. Some are rocks, many are wrong. Some of the fruit and vegetables are typical right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.

A fruit, it has a pit/seed inside.

Technically anything that has seeds is considered a fruit, it's why tomatoes are a fruit. It's better compared to a peach since a peach also has the same type of pit seed inside.
