Cool. Fruit cocktail trees are also awesome because they have multiple fruit varieties on a single tree via grafting. If you know how to do grafting, you can add additional fruits without planting more trees.

Now, if only I can figure out how to start an avocado pit or a pineapple top because several experiments have failed.



I don't know what you've tried but I've started several avocadoes by using toothpicks to suspend the pit halfway into a glass of water.


I've done that 3 or so times now and each time it just sits there and does nothing. Would be super cool though.

I raid the neighbors citrus trees (with permission) and also prickly pear cactus fruit to make fancier lemonade.


While I applaud your enthusiasm, this is a long term project as avocado trees take 10-15 years to mature and bear fruit.


I've done this, although in my cold climate it took months to throw out a root. Give it time.
