I think this will kill the tree, as food will not get from the leaves to the roots. When you do a graft, it has to be oriented the right way.  The graft may heal, but will eventually die.
It maybe that some cells transport stuff up and others down, and don't work in reverse.

Here is extreme home edition of avocado oil. Although, I hope you'll get more sophisticated than that :)

 I think so, but not that much different.  An under sink garbage grinder for the pulp, solar dehydrator for removing moisture, and a screw type press for extracting the oil.

Been lurking here for a while, but first time posting because I had nothing constructive to say.
This is however about  a dream, and I do quite a bit of that. I was thinking have 1 acre of fruits and veggies. a few chickens and other small animals. On the other 4, avocado for oil production.  Different oil rich varieties that ripen at different times so my wife and I could do it by ourselves. Avocado oil is like green gold. This cant be primary income, but retirement income.
