Paul, your' avocado tree might just surprise you and give you fruit. I know seedlings may not, but sometimes they do. I had a pinkerton that I planted from seed. It came true to type and the last year before I removed it, I got over 300 large avocados from it. Made lots of neighbors happy! Keep in mind that avocados don't ripen on the tree, so the varmints leave them alone until they drop. I used to leave any that got damaged in the fall for the possum, and it didn't bother with them until they got soft.
