First up, when you want to sow the seed, you've got to remove the pit, eat up the flesh and leave it for at least three or four days. Next, put the pit in a glass of water. The pit needs to float on the surface of water. So, for this, stick about three toothpicks such that
they are equidistant from each other. Once you put the pit in water, he pit, because of the toothpicks, will remain on the surface of water.

Once done, take the glass of water with the pit and keep it under the sun. If water is found to evaporate, make sure you keep filling the glass and add more water. Roots and stems will begin sprouting in about six to seven weeks. Make sure you cut the stem once it has grown to a length of about 6 inches. Cut it back to about three inches.

Once the plant has grown and the roots have become thick, plant it in a pot with a diameter of about 10 inches. Keep the plant exposed to sun and keep watering the plant often. Make sure the soil is moist. Do not make the soil soaking wet.

When the tree grows to about 5 feet, cut it back to about 3 feet. This will allow new shoots to sprout and emerge.
