Tree-ripened Hass avocados have a rich, creamy, buttery flavor and a high oil content that makes them far superior to anything you’ll find at the grocery store. A mature Hass tree is a prolific producer, yielding hundreds of avocados per year, and its dense, glossy evergreen foliage makes it one of the most beautiful fruiting trees you can grow.

Type A and Type B avocados have complementary bloom cycles that maximize cross-pollination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in the sunniest, best-drained location available. Avocados are extremely sensitive to overwatering and root rot — allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings and never let the tree sit in standing water. Fertilize 3–4 times per year with an avocado\/citrus-specific fertilizer. Mulch heavily around the base (keeping mulch away from the trunk) to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Prune annually to maintain a manageable size and open canopy. Protect young trees from frost with frost cloth or temporary covering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2–3 ft. — Grow Pot (Plastic)\u003c\/strong\u003e — well-rooted young tree in a standard nursery grow pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Gallon — Grow Pot (Plastic)\u003c\/strong\u003e — established root system in a standard nursery grow pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Gallon — Mexia Planter (Green)\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3 gal tree paired with a premium Mexia designer planter; ready to display on a patio or entryway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Gallon — Pallas Planter (Black)\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3 gal tree paired with a sleek Pallas planter in black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3 Gallon — Pallas Planter (Grey)\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3 gal tree paired with a Pallas planter in grey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3–4 ft. — Grow Pot (Plastic)\u003c\/strong\u003e — largest standard size; maximum head start; may fruit sooner after establishment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Live Good Logistics","offers":[{"title":"3-4 ft. \/ Grow Pot \/ Plastic","offer_id":52045252657432,"sku":"EDB-AVO-HAS-34-5G","price":219.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 Gallon \/ Grow Pot \/ Plastic","offer_id":52045252690200,"sku":"EDB-AVO-HAS-NA-3G","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Gallon \/ Mexia \/ Green","offer_id":52045252722968,"sku":"EDB-AVO-HAS-NA-3G-ME12SGD","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 Gallon \/ Pallas \/ Black","offer_id":52045252755736,"sku":"EDB-AVO-HAS-NA-3G-PA10SSBK","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 Gallon \/ Pallas \/ Grey","offer_id":52045252788504,"sku":"EDB-AVO-HAS-NA-3G-PA10CG","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2-3 ft. \/ Grow Pot \/ Plastic","offer_id":52045252821272,"sku":"EDB-AVO-HAS-23-5G","price":139.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1110\/4944\/files\/Hass-Avocado-1.jpg?v=1778411372","url":"https:\/\/www.hendersongardensupply.com\/products\/hass-avocado-tree","provider":"Henderson Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
