Unless the OP plants their 12 inch avo, they will never know if the
plant will grow and fruit or if it will not.

A lot of garden advice is "knowledge" that is simply recycled endlessly
without that "knowledge" ever being put to the test.

It is, but not typically on this group. Quite a lot of people have
planted avocados, and few (if any) have lived. London has a very
warm microclimate, so it might (though I suspect not), but thinking
it might fruit there is deluding oneself.

Citrus is a much more UK-tolerant range of plants.
