False. Growing from seeds will take forever to even sprout. And if they sprout, takes them a long time to grow 12 inches and still hard to keep them alive in soil. They will also take up to 13 years to fruit from seeds if anyone can successfully kept them alive from seeds.
I'm in Sunny Cali, so your region may differ. You need to plant a bunch of them. Some will die young, some may never sprout. The last 10 I did a year ago, 1 is abou 5 feet, 1 is 3 ft, 2 are 2 ft, and nothing happened to the rest. A few died after 2 or 3 years, and some are still 1 foot after years.

I also have some from Costco, Lowes, and Home depot I got at 3 gal. They usually flower after the 2nd year

Was going to get an avocado tree but 3 years for fruit. Will still think about it
Technically it should fruit the first year, but would only allow it to fruit if the tree can handle it

How cold hardy is it? Will it survive in PA? My wife wont stop eating avocados!
Outdoors? Not a chance. You'd need to live somewhere like southern Florida or LA. I live in zone 8a (coastal NC) and it often drops below 15°F here. Tree won't survive in that for 1 day.

I use a small heated greenhouse (50- 60°F) during the winter months and have flowering orchids, citrus, mangoes and a non-flowering avocado. Citrus is the only thing bearing ripe fruit so far (about 5 years going). Lemons & mandarins bear quickly and don't grow fast even in larger pots. They are a good fit that way.

Quote from colosports :
This is what we did.

People should know that it will take 7 to 8 years for the tree to bear fruit when grown when a seed.
People should also know that Avocados do not reproduce true to seed, or "breed true". The avocados that eventually grow will not be the same type or quality as the pit they were grown from.

One thing people need to understand is that just because it is cold hardy and might survive years of freezing winters, it doesn't mean it will bear fruit.

I am in the Portland, Oregon area, and I have many fruit-bearing trees grown from 4-6ft. starts that need a LONGER GROWING SEASON to bear fruit. Sure, they survive and even thrive, but never or rarely bear fruit.

This includes:
Loquat
Guava
Pomegranate
Yuzu

Trees that should have fruited but haven't for several years:
Apple
Pear
Persimmon

Trees that fruited right away:
Peach
Arbequina Olive

Have also tried lemon, lime, and orange. They all sort of survive but don't grown much and never bear fruit.

Exactly, and if the fruit tree was a hybrid, you have no idea what you'll get from the seed.

Avocado is a tropical, do not buy if you dont live in a subtropical area. This is not a slick deal. This is a scam, a large tree may survive 30min at 20degrees, but overnight at 20degrees, tropicals die.

I have ordered many items from them. They have decent customer service if you buy the warranty. If the dozens of trees, from fruit cocktail to apple to lime to avacados, there are only 3 still doing well. I would recommend you just go the avocado seed route and save money.

With some fruits it depends on whether it's grown from seed or a cutting. Growing from seed to fruit can take years longer.
But it's way more fun and way cheaper

I still get a kick out of propagating from cuttings, though. I used to work at the FAA, across from some Smithsonian gardens, and the gardeners there would let me take cuttings and offsets all the time. I still have a few of them, including an American agave and stapelia grandiflora, seven years later.

Plus, you won't have to wait nearly a decade for delicious avocados since this beautiful tree can produce in the very first year. see site!

Would this avocade tree be good for inside the home, like in an office?

Local nurseries and hardware stores are much cheaper than this...
Ya think it might be because they dont have to ship?
