Persea americana 'Hass' (Hass Avocado) is the world's most popular avocado variety, renowned for its rich, nutty flavour and creamy texture. This evergreen tree produces pebbly-skinned fruits that turn from green to dark purple-black when ripe, with pale green flesh that is perfect for guacamole, salads, and sandwiches. The tree features glossy, dark green leaves and a spreading growth habit that makes it both an attractive shade tree and a productive addition to the garden.
Ideal for subtropical and frost-free temperate climates, 'Hass' thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It requires a warm, protected position and benefits from cross-pollination with Type A avocado varieties for optimal fruit production. This tree is particularly valued for its consistent yields of high-quality fruit and its ornamental appeal in edible landscapes.
