How long to avocados last?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That depends on the type of avocado But basically, with any avocado all you need to do to test its ripeness is to squeeze it gently. If it has some give, then it is ripe. If it is too hard, leave it for a couple of days. If it is very soft, slice it in half and take a look inside. If it is predominantly brown, then it is overripe If it is green, however, then it should be just right.

Can you grow avocado trees in New Jersey?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, with caveats. Most avocado trees will die in the cold, true, if left alone. Articles I've seen from growers say that 32 degrees F or below would certainly kill an avocado tree. There are a couple of varieties that will survive to 18 degrees. Here in New Jersey, winter weather can be very unpredictable, so why chance leaving your avocado out to the elements?

Avocado trees grown in New Jersey can be brought indoors in cold weather. They can also be kept in a sheltered or heated greenhouse in cold weather.

Plant the tree in soil with good drainage, a mix of sand, bark and perlite is recommended. Use a container that is ceramic or of natural material with lots of drain holes. Important, too, is watering. Too much water or water left standing around the roots will cause root rot and that will cause the tree to die. Using proper soil and container when watering reduces the risk of root rot.

Why is the earth look alike an avocado?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An avocado is like the earth because it has layers, like the earth. The skin of the avocado is like the crust of the earth, because it is hilly and like land, with mountains, hills and flat land. This " layer" is thin, like the crust. Just below the crust is the mantle, which would be the darker part, under the skin. This is flowy and smooth, just likethe mantle, which is cooler at the top and hotter at the bottom. causing the flow to go top to bottom the bottom to top. the lighter ppart would be the outer core, because of exterem similarity to the estimed liquid, and the pit is the inner core, because it is hard, like the inner core

How do you prep an avocado seed to eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is possible to roast an avocado seed but I would not recommend it. You can slice the nut up and place it in the oven on low heat for 5-10 minutes but even then the bitterness of the nut does not go away and keeping the nuts in the oven for any longer than 10-15 will unfortunately result in burnt nuts.
