The green-skinned, oval fruits have a pebbly texture, presenting a pleasing appearance against the lush, glossy foliage.As the fruits ripen, they transition to a dark purple/black hue that is a sharp contrast to the light green fruit within. Creamy with a slightly nutty flavor, the Hass Avocado Tree will certainly delight your taste buds and be a delicious addition to the variety of dishes you may choose to serve it with.The Hass Avocado Tree can produce fruit year-round and is a self-pollinator, so you can just have one if you like. The Hass is even cold-hardy but can also be grown indoors where the winters are too harsh. It will grow 15-20 feet tall, but with careful pruning can maintain a smaller stature if preferred.

Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.
