It is very easy to plant avocado, just stick the golf ball sized seed in the moist soil and let it be. OK, you can improve on that, there is a top end and bottom end, the bottom likes to be moist, top should be sticking up from the soil.
When watering avocado plant soak the well draining soil and leave it to dry, then repeat the cycle.
You will however have to wait about 3 years before the young tree bears any fruit. You can get avocados from pot size plant about 3 or 4 feet tall, you might have to clip the top if your tree growing too tall.
To assure your avocado produces fruits make sure to plant several trees, the flowers that open for couple of days are at first female then male, so self-pollination is impossible. The plant can be pollinated by insects or wind (or brush). A mature tree can produce 60 (the norm) to 200 pounds of fruit.
Much have been said about health benefits of eating avocados, they are probably one of the best things you can ad to your daily diet.
