No, this is not one of those perennial questions about growing avocados
from a pit.  :-)

A week or so ago I bought a lovely 3-year-old grafted Bacon avocado tree
from Berkeley Hort.  Now that it's in the ground, it's about 3.5 to 4 feet
tall.  Assuming it does well, how many years do you think until I get at
least one fruit?  The person at the nursery didn't know but nodded when I
said I had heard avocados take about 7 years so this tree had 4 left.  

Thanks,
Cyndi
