Growing Avocados in a Kitchen in Dublin.
It isn't a very attractive tree: it grows straight up and has leaf-shaped leaves (if you know what I mean) and unless you put it in a very tall heated conservatory it will never fruit. I've got one on a windowsill ATM, and I've never stopped asking myself why. I once had an avocado ranch but gave them to a daughter who killed them. I only have one now and in the summer I put it outside to enjoy itself. I'm like that, generous to a fault. Its leaves went brown and dry so I sadly assumed (no I DIDN'T hope - well not all that much, well, OK a little bit, might have been a lot) that if it hadn't already it would pass away while I wasn't looking in the autumn. We're in Leeds, Yorkshire. It's thriving. I pretend not to see it so that I don't feel guilty about leaving it outside during these horribly frosty nights we've had lately (- 5C on my max/min thermometer) but it just blows raspberries at me. Its leaves are beautiful, bright green, I've never seen anything so healthy. Not that I look ... Bloody thing. Why can't it just die gracefully. I must ask daughter what she did ...
