When I was growing up in the Philippines my favorite ice cream is Avocado Ice cream. I also enjoyed smashed avocado in condensed milk. So in the Philippines it is considered a Fruit.
However, when I moved to the US in 1960, I have Avocado in My Fish Taco and my Green Salad, so it is a Vegetable here in the US.
So the Answer the Question is Avocado a Fruit or Vegetable, Read the following.

An avacado grew in my compost pile. I potted it up and it lived on my patio for several years but never produced fruit. I thibk it needed a warmer climate. Aileyn
Container-grown avocado plants often don't bear fruit, but it can be possible if they are given proper cultural care. Don't expect fruit the first year or even the second. These trees need to get to 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 m) tall before they set fruit.
Avocado trees are known to produce fruit “every other year”- in pots -just ornamental.. love avocados-add lime or lemon juice + salt!!! 😋
