I wanna know how to germinate one and from which side? The pointy side or the other side? Can they produce baby avocados contained by Canada?
Paul is right on


The most common style of germinating an avocado nut is to stick 4 toothpicks into the side (90 degrees apart) going on for in the middle of the nut. Then fill a cup with dampen and set the seed - pointy side up - on the chalice such that it's suspended by the toothpicks about 1 inch into the hose down. Eventually, it should grow roots and start a new tree.

But, maintain in mind that an avocado tree grown from kernel probably won't produce fruit for 5 to 7 years.

Also, I doubt an avocado tree would survive a winter in any constituent of Canada. If they get below 32 F, the avocados and the foliage die.
Answers:    I always put my avocado seed in potting soil. A 6 inch pot is sufficient. I bury the nut with the pointed side up in the middle in potting soil. Saturate the soil near water and the hardest article is: patience. It take awhile for it to root (probably a month or a two).

After that, it grows rapidly. After it get to 12 inches tall, I would repot it surrounded by a taller pot. Avocados have outstandingly long and thick taproots so it desires space to spread.

It takes two trees to grow fruit successfully. A manly and a female. My guess is it will lug 10+ years to become a tree. The plant itself gets really high-ceilinged and spindly so don't plant it in a place beside high wind. Hope this helps.

Here's a relationship to the avocado plant I have:
