This video offers two distinct methods for cultivating avocado trees from a store-bought seed. The first method, starting from seed, details a patient approach involving consistent watering, fertilizing, and pruning over roughly ten years before fruit production begins. The second method, grafting, significantly shortens the waiting period to about four years by attaching a cutting from a known fruit-bearing tree onto a seedling. Both methods emphasize proper soil, drainage, and periodic repotting as the tree matures, culminating in planting the avocado tree in the ground for continued growth and eventual fruit. The creator also explains how to identify the top and bottom of an avocado seed and dispels myths about germinating seeds in water.
