Persea americana ‘Lamb Hass’
Persea americana 'Lamb Hass' forms compact, upright trees with high yields of good quality fruit.
The avocado plant (Persea americana) is a subtropical tree with lustrous dark green evergreen leaves that often emerge flushed with orange or red. It is grown for the abundant production of its well-known, delicious, buttery fruits. Trees can be grown as potted specimens and protected indoors during Canadian winters. ‘Lamb Hass’ is a cross between ‘Hass’ and the dwarf ‘Gwen’ cultivar offering plants with an upright, compact habit. It produces high yields of good quality Hass-like fruit with black skin ripening over a longer period than ‘Hass’. The fruit can be up to 10-16 oz. Keep above -1 degrees C (30 degrees F). It is an A Type and requires a B Type for cross pollination and to get fruit on both trees.
