Can Avocado Trees Grown Indoors In Containers Produce Avocadoes? If So, Under What Conditions?

Question

We would like to purchase small avocado trees and grow them indoors in containers under artificial lighting. Have indoor gardeners been able to successfully grow avocadoes on trees grown indoors? If so, who can provide me with information on how to successfully do so?

Answer 1

Yes, you can grow them indoors, but start with dwarf, grafted trees. Avocados grown from seed may not produce fruit.

Here are the basics. You can get more information from your local extension office (see below).
