sorry to hijack your thread again lottie... but we have some progress. one of our avocado stones has a huge split in it - about a week ago - no sign of any roots at all - is this normal?

Exaclty what mine did, Daisymay! Then the root pushed out into the water.  It's now in compost, and I think the shoot is about to break through the top!! Here's hoping...! Lottie

Last year I planted one that had a root and after a few months, I gave up as no shoot appeared. I bunged it in the garden and a few months later, noticed a little shoot.

This year I found a stone that had rooted in my compost heap (I think it was one of the fruits that I forgot about and went gross, so I just slung it in there). Anyway... I planted it and it took a few more months to shoot.

Patience!
