I bought several tiny trees from a nursery in California, that has since gone belly up. I can't recall the Latin name, all I know is that they were labelled "dwarf avocados." Yes, it took four years for the trees to mature and bear fruit, but now they're providing me with my favorite breakfast food frquently throughout the year. Since avocados prefer a warmer climate than Maine, I keep them at California temperatures, but more like San Francisco, not as hot as L.A.

I love them and my family has yet to try grow a tree type plant. We own our own hydro/organics shop in Pensacola Fl. So I want to try avocados and maybe lemon trees. I like to know how you started you plants weather a cut or a seed and what system you have found to be the best. I want to grow them out in the green house so no light are needed. Also what temperature and type of avocado be a good starter. I'm doing this so I can learn more and also eat them. I understand it takes awhile for them to be ready. So I just like to know when be a good time to start and how to get it started. Also if you started from seeds do I need to buy them of can I used what I have from the avocados I eat.

I was thinking about trying to grow, an avacodo tree with the Ebb and Flow system using a large bucket but didn't know if it was possible. I guess I'll try it?!
