Avocados are one of the wonderful fruits of summer. High in nutrition and flavor, nothing signals the start of summer like a zesty lime guacamole dip with tortilla chips.
The next time you’re making guacamole or slicing an avocado for a salad, try saving your pits to grow into avocado trees.
It’s surprisingly easy to grow your own avocado tree from seed, and it makes a great educational project for home and classrooms.
Check out our handy-dandy guide below, complete with photos, to learn how to grow an avocado tree from seed.
STEP 1 – REMOVE & CLEAN PIT
You’ll need to start by removing the pit from the avocado carefully (without cutting it), and then washing it clean of all the avocado fruit (often it helps to soak the pit in some water for a few minutes and then scrub all the remaining fruit off). Be careful not to remove the brown skin on the pit – that is the seed cover.
