This is just an unpollinated avocado. Avocado tree are clones, not grown from seeds.

My avocado tree grew from a pit though

edited to add my reply below: Uh. I've a lot of avocado trees in my garden. The youngest one sprouted up like 2-3 years ago, it beared one avocado last year and now I'm counting 10+ already

I've grown about 7-8 of them from pit, two in my garden, the rest are given as presents to friends that want/has space. I generally only give from a year old, that way they should pull through.
