GREAT!!! Now I'll go eat the last ones. I'm saving the seed to put in a planter with an ugly tree in it and place outside my door. They make such beautiful trees........

I just stuck one in the corner of my herb planter. Maybe it will even grow...not much of a green thumb.

Keep it watered and by this "citrus/avocado" fertilizer they sell in garden shops........

Ducky

That might not be available here. Avocado and citrus are not normally found here except if grown in someone's sunny porch or some such environment.

Well, just stick them in the dirt and keep them watered. If you have the nerve, snip off the first two leaves after they've grown four. Will make branches that way. They'll die in the winter unless you treat them like babies.........no, they won't produce fruit......................
