"The rule of no realm is mine. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands, these are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail in my task if anything that passes through this night can still grow fairer or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For I too am a steward. Did you not know?" Gandolf
Marco Banks wrote:When I lived in Africa, every avocado was grown from seed. There wasn't any consistency in what you would find in the market, so it was a matter of quantity, not quality. Yes, you can grow from seed, and yes, there will be a fair number of them that will actually be fruitful. But will you get decent fruit that you'll want to eat? Further, you could wait 5 years and still not get anything. It's a crap shoot.
If you have land and lots of time and space, then it seems like a great experiment. But if you're limited for land and time, it makes a whole lot more sense to buy a grafted tree from a tried and true cultivar.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
