Description

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.

Why did you choose this?

Love avacados and they are good for you

It is one of the type A that survives in my climate zone that I like

Because the avocado I ordered was sold out and my purchase returned. And, I love Haas Avocados.

Because it was the only one left in stock

Is this a grafted tree?

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."

I live in zone 7B and have 3 beautiful fig trees in containers outdoors.  I protect them during winter under a pop-up greenhouse. Can I do the same with an avocado tree?

It would depend on the variety and what they are cold hardy to.

can i plant this outside in drakesboro ky?

Can it grow in a pot and moved indoors in winter?

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.

I have a Brogdon will it help pollinate the Hass or what other tree will i need ?

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.

Can the Hass Avocado tree be moved to an Unheard garage during the winter months in Zone 6B?

It would actually need tobe moved inside to a sunny location as they do not like cold temperatures.

Is this avocado tree grafted from another variety or grown from a Hass seed ?

These are seedling transplants and not grafted.

If I buy this size hass avacado, how long before it produces fruit?

We appreciate you reaching out to us. You can find the years-to-bear information in the Characteristics section, near the top of the page, underneath the description. This tree takes 2-4 years to bear.

Hass Avocado Tree
I am hoping for lots of avocados in the years to come. Since I live in the far NE it has to winter inside. The plant arrived in good condition and was replanted into a larger pot when it arrived.

Wonderful!
The tree arrived in excellent condition, packaged well and no damage. It's growing well in full sun after a short acclimation period. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

Avocado trees
I ordered 2 avocado trees. They came in the same box. One tree was great the other not so much. The dirt had come out of the pot and was all over inside the bag and the root ball was exposed. I planted it immediately in hopes of saving it but it died.

Fingers are crossed
My Hass avocado arrived with powdery mildew on all leaves, so I copper fungicided it and kept it away from other plants. I repotted it in very good soil, with organic fertilizer. It lost some leaves. The end wall of my studio is glassed, so it's there with good light, and has stayed pretty much the same all winter. At last it's showing signs of life: little rosettes (I suppose leaves) have formed and are developing at various junctures, and it has actually put forth a stalk of blooms. Fingers crossed, it seems to be coming out of its zombie state, and I have hope that it will in time thrive.

will see how it turns out in the spring
My leaves turned black and all fell off maybe a disease that also spread to another one of my advocado trees. Will wait and see the outcome.

Trees can't take the heat
Not good for Arizona Queen Creek area weather. Weather is way too hot, even under shade.
