The Hass Family of avocados

by Greg Alder | Oct 25, 2023 | Avocados | 2 comments

If avocados have a royal family, this is it: Hass and its heirs.

Take a look at the family’s most prominent members, as well as some lesser known relatives. Where and when were they born? Who first grew them? Is there a next generation on the way?

I hope you enjoy my posts and videos without ads. I keep The Yard Posts ad-free for you, and I appreciate your direct support so I can keep that up.

Greg, as another sideline business, as you have access to so many varieties, please consider making various seed stock available so we can “tinker.” As always, great post!
Thanks, Bob up in Santa Rosa

Hi,

Your videos have assisted my craze to try many other varieties of avocados I’ve never known!
My particular flavor is what Haas gives, Reed’s flavor is good and has hardly any fibers, which I LOVE and much prefer when is comes to none or barely any.
I don’t have access to many others like you Californians(consider you guys BLESSED)—what varieties you’ve tried that taste like or better than Hass and is inherently less fibrous like Reed?
