But you can still grow an avocado tree indoors. If you want them to bear fruit its best plant a few of them and place them outdoors in summer. The reason to give them fresh air in summer really is the old story of the birds and the bees, it will aid their pollination.
These (small) trees are decorative and make great eye catchers on your patio or porch container garden. They can bear fruit in about five years when grown this way…”
