Caution: growing avacodo from seed will not produce desirable fruit but it will make a nice houseplant☺

So I took a brief look... how do you get an avocado from seed?

@DRBeck Since the seed will rarely produce the same genetics as it's parent, most commercial growers use grafting to splice rootstock resistant to certain pathogens with a scion that produces desirable fruit. You can check out the article I wrote about growing avacodo in the link in my bio for more info.
