Grow a Garden: How to Get the Legendary Avocado

In Grow a Garden, legendary crops stand out not only for their rarity but also for their value as long-term harvest investments. Among them, the Avocado is one of the most desirable additions to any player's collection of Grow a Garden Items. Originally introduced during the Summer Harvest Event, the Avocado remains a multi-harvest crop that rewards players with both beauty and utility.

This guide covers what makes the Avocado unique, how to identify it, and the different ways to obtain its seed.

What Is the Avocado

Like many legendary crops, the Avocado is designed to be both eye-catching and functional. Here's what sets it apart:

Seed Design: The Avocado seed is lime green with a brown square in the middle, representing the pit. It's easily identifiable compared to more common seeds.

Tree Appearance: Once planted, the Avocado tree grows tall and slender. Its trunk starts with a wide base that forks into two sparse branches, with a greenish-brown bark that makes it distinct from other trees.

Produce: The Avocado fruit itself is egg-shaped, featuring a striking green gradient, darker at the bottom and lighter at the top. This makes it one of the most visually recognizable fruits in the game.

As a multi-harvest crop, one Avocado seed can keep producing fruit over time, making it a powerful investment for any serious gardener.

Past Availability of the Avocado Seed

When it first appeared during the Summer Harvest Event, the Avocado seed could be obtained from the Seed Shop. Its rarity, however, made it one of the hardest seeds to acquire at the time:

2.5% chance (1 in 40) to appear in shop stock.

Price of 5,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 419 Robux.

For many players, this meant long waits and careful saving, as both the drop rate and cost were steep.

Current Ways to Obtain the Avocado Seed

Although the Seed Shop option has been retired, the Avocado seed remains obtainable through multiple methods. Below are all the confirmed ways to secure it:

1. Summer Traveling Merchant

The Traveling Merchant remains the most direct option. Just like before, the Avocado seed has a 2.5% chance to appear in his stock during the summer.

Purchase price: 5,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles or 419 Robux.

Since the Traveling Merchant rotates stock, consistent checking is essential if you want to catch the Avocado before it disappears again.

2. Lucky Harvests

Sometimes, harvesting crops can trigger a Lucky Harvest, which rewards players with rare seeds. The Avocado seed is one of the potential prizes, making everyday farming runs more exciting.

3. Red Fox Encounters

In a fun twist, Red Foxes that sneak into your garden sometimes "steal" produce. If conditions are met, they may leave behind rare rewards like the Avocado seed. While not reliable, this mechanic keeps your garden interactions dynamic.

4. Snails

Snails, when harvested, have a chance to yield rare seeds. The Avocado is one of the possible drops, though the odds are slim. Players who maintain snail populations in their gardens have a small but steady chance at snagging one.

5. Dogs (Shiba Inu or Golden Lab)

Certain dog companions occasionally dig up seeds. Rarely, this includes legendary ones like the Avocado. If you have pets active in your garden, they can be an unexpected source of treasures.

Farming Tips for Avocado Hunters

If you're specifically targeting the Avocado, here are some strategies to maximize your chances:

Save Sheckles in Advance: Always keep at least 5,000 Grow a Garden Sheckles set aside so you can immediately purchase the seed if it appears in the Traveling Merchant's stock.

Use Pets Consistently: Keep Shiba Inu or Golden Lab companions active. Even if rare, every dig increases your chances of finding an Avocado seed.

Diversify Efforts: Don't rely solely on the merchant, engage with snails, harvest regularly for Lucky Harvests, and watch for fox encounters.

Stay Persistent: With only a 2.5% shop appearance rate, patience is key. Long-term consistency pays off.
