About the Hass Avocado Tree
The iconic Hass Avocado Tree, a must-have for every avocado lover’s garden. Renowned for its rich and buttery taste, the Hass Avocado has captured the hearts of millions with its exceptional flavor and versatility. This classic, Mexican-type avocado provides you with a consistent crop of high-quality fruits that are costly at any grocery store.
This avocado tree matures to a manageable size and can be pruned smaller to grow in containers, making it a versatile addition to any space. When it’s time to harvest, the ripe avocados become textured with pebbled skin, and when sliced open, reveal a creamy, pale-green interior. Enjoy these nutritious treats fresh, on salads, toast, and of course in guacamole.
How to Grow Hass Avocados
Hass is a fast-growing avocado tree that thrives in the warmer climates of California, Louisiana, Texas and other southern regions. When planting, select a well-draining, nutrient-rich soil and provide ample sunlight for optimal growth. Regular watering, especially during the establishment phase, is essential, but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
To nurture your avocado tree, prune for size, fertilize occasionally, and shield from frost in colder climates. They can also be grown in containers, opening the hardiness range for anyone to enjoy homegrown avocados! Hass is sure to be a valued, consistent producer in your garden.
Avocado trees are self-pollinating and you’ll get a nice harvest with just one tree. They don’t require another variety in order to produce fruit. However, having a Type A and Type B avocado tree increases the chance of successful pollination and fruit set. Hass is a type A.

Questions & Answers
For the most part self-pollinating avocado trees will be true to their genome and will express the proper phenotype. IOW, don't be too concerned. There have been some reports that the seed is larger than the original tree, but that is a "crap shoot."
It would depend on the variety and what they are cold hardy to.

The dwarf variety I bought In Sept '23 has been in a pot through this past fall and winter in my greenhouse (inside) and did great. It flowered up really nicely in Jan-Feb. I had a bunch of hover flies in my greenhouse which appear to have acted like bees and helped pollenate the flowers. I also had oscillating fans going to help blow the pollen around. I have just moved it outside and appears to have several tiny baby avocados on it. Seems to like being in a pot so far.
Yes, the Brogdon avocado can help pollinate a Hass avocado. Avocados are divided into two flowering types: A and B. Hass is a type A, while Brogdon is a type B. Having both types increases the chances of cross-pollination, which can improve fruit production.
It would actually need tobe moved inside to a sunny location as they do not like cold temperatures.
These are seedling transplants and not grafted.
