Does one grow avocado pits just for fun? Is there an end goal?

End goal is an avocado tree, that eventually (the rule of thumb is seven years) fruits.

You also need several trees to have them pollinate.

They don’t do well outside here, winter is a bit harsh, so I bring them indoors in winter. About 200km north (or so) of here is perfect climate for them, people just have these huge avo trees in their gardens.
