Avocado trees grown from a seed can produce fruit but as you have found - it may take 20 years or more.

• It seems the basic reason avocado usually trees do not bloom is due to not enough or no pollination.
• There either needs to be another tree (and bees or birds) plus a lot of luck or the trees have to be hand pollinated.
• Weather and care also need to be considered but pollination is essential for fruit to bear.

here are a couple of web sites that have information that might help you find answers to what you can do with your tree.

grafted Trees produce fruit within 3 years. Your tree planted from a seed may take 10-20 years and the fruit may not be good. Dont fertilize between October and February
