It’s a truth universally acknowledged that the avocado is one of life’s greatest gifts. But the green and black fruit is not only in short supply due to exceptional demand, but can also be pretty expensive.

    So one innovative company has come up with an amazing solution — an incredibly easy-to-use contraption* that allows you to grow your own avocado tree for just US$12.99.

    The AvoSeedo is a little plastic avocado-shaped bowl with an indentation* with a hole in it. A single, peeled avocado seed can be inserted, with the flat end facing down.

    The bowl should then be placed in a sufficiently* large, water-filled pot, where it will stay on the surface at all time, and sink gradually as the water level lowers.

    You only need to change the water every two to three weeks. After one to three months, a tiny avocado tree should have grown. Be patient though, as some avocado pits take longer to germinate*.

    According to California Avocados, it can take anywhere from five to 13 years before the tree is mature enough to grow fruit.

    Transfer the budding tree into a pot and reuse the AvoSeedo to grow even more avocados from the comfort of your own home.

    The AvoSeedo is made from tough plastic so it will hold for many years.

    The brilliant contraption costs US$12.99 for one or US$19.99 including a plant pot from AvoSeedo.com.
