I have a large avocado plant that I grew from a pit. At only 2.5 years old, it's about 3 feet tall. Definitely won't be ready for fruit any time soon. Maybe when my grandchildren are born (for the record, I do not yet have children).
Fingers crossed, they bear fruit eventually. If not, they make a fairly fast growing tree (2m after 3-4 years) - although this week the leaves burn quickly in the summer heat if inadequately watered.
