Who the fuck is out there throwing away whole avocados?

  • they aren't cheap
  • you can take the seed out and compost it if it's gone bad
  • you can germinate the seed

Honest question: what do you do with an avocado tree grown from pit? I've got one but I don't know its sex and I don't think it would ever fruit even if it could be properly pollinated. -covering its ears- it's not even very pretty....

I wouldn't even bother unless you just wanted a tree. Avacados aren't true to seed, so the chances of getting good fruit that is the same as what you got the seed from is very slim. It's better to grow from a cutting and just clone a tree already known to produce decent fruit.
