How to Grow a Avocado Tree

It is very easy to get a avocado seed to grow into a tree. There are a couple of different way to do so. And remember there is a tree inside every avocado.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• a glass jar
• tooth picks
• avocado seed

1. First off you need to get a avocado seed from the middle of an avocado.

2. 

   One way to grow a avocado seed is to put three toothpicks around the sides of your avocado seed. This is probably the most popular way of doing it. But i believe it is the harder way as well.

3. Fill up a jar with water and place the avocado seed on the top of the jar.(pointy side of the seed pointing up). Make sure the bottom half of the avocado seed is covered with water. The avocado seed will eventually sprout. Growing your avocado seed this way you can monitor the seeds growth. You can see when the seed splits(which is good). And when it roots and sprouts. Planting it after awhile.

4. Another way to grow a avocado seed is to just put the seed in the dirt the hole way, You should have the pointy side up. Water so it doesn't dry out to much and it will eventually grow. I've had better luck doing it this way and its so much easier. I have four tree from seed out front right now.

5. 

   Either way you do it you will eventually have a avocado tree.

Tips & Warnings

• It may take a little while for the seed to spout so be payshent
