Avocados

These are my avocados started from avocados pips. I took the seeds out of avocados, removed the brown skin, cut off the top and bottom tips of the seed, and stuck 3 toothpicks in the seed in order to submerged the bottom half of the seed in a glass of water. I tried to propogate several avocados seeds between November 2010-January 2011. These plants are my result. Its hard to believe that they are all about the same age but are so different in size. The pots are not that different in size, so I don't know what's causing the disparity. The avocado in the black pot was much taller until a wind storm and flying debris truncated her.
