My brother once tried to grow a tree from an avocado pit.  Most of the world's avocados come from California or Mexico, but we're in Michigan. 

Maybe he was trying to fill a niche in the local market ...

The Romans used lemon oil as a perfume for both men and women.

We get plenty of avocados when they're in season.

Lemon is still commonly used to make us smell nice.

No, it's not. Lemonade, lemon curd, candied lemon peel....Not to mention, lemon zest has both sweet and savory applications.

Avocado trees need a warm climate year-round. They'd die off with the first sign of winter, even if they were fully mature.

Albert and I were quoting a song from the early 1960's.

G'day y'all. Sunny and 71/21°.

My dad has a high school buddy who grows lots of fruit. Mostly cherries, but some apples, peaches, plums, and pears, too. The peaches are good, but the Japanese pears are amazeballs, to borrow a word from @Dayne Mora. Shockingly, the guy doesn't do a thing with the pears. There were only a dozen trees planted, so he doesn't even bother to pick them, never mind sell them.

Well, it's TRUE! It's called being a realist.

Bonsoir Albert me too. I'll only keep one though. I read we can have lemon tree where I live as it live up to -5℃ which is pretty much what we have in winter at night. Plus I'm planning on keeping it safe in the greenhouse wrap in a wintering sheet/veil.

Oh... okay... I get it now.

I think it would be better to buy a tree and bring it in, in the winter 

yeah, but there is a lot of fun in growing it from a seed. I think that's cool.  Hey, buddy.
