i bought an avocado and put the pit in water. i want it to grow. are there
any suggestions. it is forming roots in the water and held up by
toothpicks.should i have soaked the pit. seems to be taking a long time do
grow. two weeks so far

A friend of mine dumped 3 into the bottom of a pot, filled it with dirt and
acorns from last fall around the rim - he now has 3 nice avocado trees and
quite a few tiny little oaks appearing everywhere in there. Looks pretty
neat - the avocados are about 2 feet tall now, oaks are about 6 inches.
