Grow-vs-buy savings
A Grafted avocado tree costs around $55 and takes about 4 years before it produces a meaningful crop. Not a quick payback — but once it's established a avocado plant returns roughly $195/year in supermarket equivalent (30kg × $6.49/kg) and keeps producing for many years.
Before you buy: Seed-grown trees take 7-15 years and rarely fruit true to type. Always buy a grafted named variety (Hass, Wurtz, Bacon). Most varieties need a pollinator partner.
Realistic yield: Mature tree 30-100 kg per year depending on variety and conditions. Dwarf Wurtz stays small but yields less (~15-25 kg).
Ballpark numbers — yield varies by climate, variety, care and luck. Use as a rough indicator, not a business plan.
