Can you grow an avocado tree from the pit?

Question

I was wondering if you could grow a tree if you started it inside. We live in Colorado and nothing grows outside until.....oh, maybe June.

Answer 1

most pits can grow roots by placing them in a bowl wrapped in a paper towel and keep the paper towel fairly damp all the time. check it every few days. keep it in a warm place like on top of the fridge. when it sprouts good.. then you can plant it.. better get 2 or three though most fruit trees don't produce unless they have another one within a couple miles to cross polunate.

Answer 2

You can get the pip to grow if you suspend it with toothpicks with the round end in water. After you get a good sprout, plant it in a pot. You will have to keep it inside as a houseplant most of the year and it will not bear any fruit, but it's an attractive little plant.

Answer 3

I don't think so...I think it just grows a plant.
