Hello all I'm growing a lemon tree, pine apple tree, avocado etc from a seed. I germinate them. I would to know how can I make them grow to be strong and to give me fruits? I have read that I need to pair and mate and see which is male and female. How is this possible? Sorry I'm new to gardening.

I'm growing spaghetti squash seeds. How will they grow? Do I put them in bigger pot together?? Never did this.

The avocado tree is partially self-pollinating, which means that you would have MORE fruit if you had a second tree, but you should get SOME fruit just from the one tree. It will be many years before the tree is old enough to have fruit, though.

My MIL had an avocado tree . It was huge, and had more fruit than a family could use. Here is a bit more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado

A pineapple is a bush, not a tree. I do not know if it is hardy in your area, and I have never grown one! I have tried but I always failed! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pineapple

I once had a lemon tree inside for a while: I never got any fruit but the flowers smelled AMAZING! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemon

I see you live in Canada. An avocado tree is NOT cold hardy. They grow where it doesn't freeze. An avocado is also a fairly large plant when mature, about 10 years from now and way too big to live indoors and move around. Pineapples are the same as they live and grow mainly in the tropics, but are much smaller. You might get lucky and grow a decent pineapple in 3 years if there is enough sun. Spaghetti squash.. Plant two seeds per small container. When the plants have their 1'st set of true leaves snip off the weakest of the two and repot the remaining one or place into the garden. Plants should be at least 1 1/2 ft apart and will grow to a large size.
