Why won’t my avocado seed produce edible fruit?

Question

ForwardPlant Team · Accepted Answer

Avocado trees grown from seed often produce fruit that is not true to the parent, meaning the flavor and texture can differ greatly. It can also take 5-13 years for a seedling to fruit, and some may never produce. For reliable edible fruit, it's best to cultivate a grafted tree, which guarantees the desired varietal characteristics.
