Avocado Hass (Grafted) - Fruit Plant

About Avocado Hass

Persea americana 'Hass' is one of the most popular and widely cultivated avocado varieties in the world, prized for its rich, creamy texture, nutty flavor, and distinctive dark green, pebbled skin. It's a medium to large evergreen tree with glossy, elliptical leaves.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sunlight, 6-8 hours daily.
• Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic soil, pH 6.0-6.5.
• Climate: Sensitive to frost and cold - plant somewhere sheltered from strong wind and frost.

Planting & Spacing

Can be grown in a large container or planted in the ground with room for a medium to large tree (up to ~30 ft in ideal conditions).

Care

• Watering: Regular watering, especially during dry spells, but let the soil dry out slightly between waterings to avoid overwatering.
• Fertilizer: Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Pruning: Prune sparingly - mainly to shape the tree and remove dead or diseased branches.

Fruiting & Harvest

This grafted plant is documented to begin fruiting within about a year of planting. Hass avocados don't change color much as they ripen - they yield slightly to gentle pressure when ready.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Avocado leaves, bark, and pit contain persin, which is toxic to pets (especially birds and rabbits) and can cause GI upset in cats/dogs if ingested - keep fallen leaves and pits away from pets. The ripe fruit flesh is fine for most people in moderation.
