Description
The Hass Avocado Tree is one of the most widely cultivated and consumed avocados in the US.
All Hass Avocado trees come from a single tree grown in California and named for the original owner of this remarkable fruit. The small, green fruit turns black when ripe, and has a bumpy skin, small seed, and outstanding flavor.
Hass Avocado Trees have a long season and are ready to pick from April through September. They are cold-sensitive below 32 degrees and do best in full sun in USDA Zones 8 to 11. The Hass Avocado Tree can reach heights of 25 to 35 feet, and a width of up to 18 feet. They grow upright with small, dark green leaves and greyish-brown bark.
Hass Avocado trees can be grown in containers and will usually remain smaller when container-grown. This allows colder climates to bring the container indoors during colder months. Just make sure you have a sunny window so your tree can stay near.
