an advocado

[zzxxee]

is known as a pear but is it a fruit of a vegetable?

[janetwalsh13]

It is a fruit, anything with a seed is a fruit.

I believe it's a fruit (in the botanical sense. May not be same in culinary sense)

Plus.... they grow on trees.

any thing with a seed is a fruit, so an avocado is a fruit as the pit (stone) is a seed.

There is documented evidence that animals such as cats, dogs, horses can be severely harmed or even killed when they consume the avocado leaves, bark, skin, or pit. The avocado fruit is poisonous to some birds,
