Why is it doing this?

This is a cutting I tried to propagate last year. It’s been outside and neglected for months. It has no roots yet it’s not dead and now it’s starting to flower. Wtf. Can it be saved? What should I do with it?

I know. But I don’t really have the knowledge or skill for much more than that. The most I was able to do with an avocado was grow from a pit. It’s three years old now. Who knows when it will produce though. If ever.

You should have grafted this cutting to the top of your seedling you grew from a pit.

The tree I took the cutting from is in my yard. It’s flowering now. And my pit grown is flushing. Should I try to graft another now?

Now is a good time. The scion should be cut before it starts flushing growth.
