Avocado Hass Live Plant (Persea americana 'Hass')

The Hass avocado is a variety of avocado with dark green, bumpy skin. It was first grown and sold by Southern California mail carrier and amateur horticulturist Rudolph Hass, who also gave it his name. The Hass avocado is a large-sized fruit weighing 200 to 300 grams. It has a buttery taste that's slightly nutty depending on its ripeness. Overall, it's a pretty muted flavor that makes them blend well into many dishes. Sometimes the flavor can come across earthy or a little grassy, but they've got a smooth, creamy texture that's really pleasing to your tastebuds.
