Event Details & Address
Lamb Hass Avocado Tree in 7-Gallon Pot Available in Jupiter, FL
The Lamb Hass Avocado (Persea americana ‘Lamb Hass’) is a premium, California-developed variety known for its rich, creamy texture and classic Hass-style flavor. Producing large, dark-skinned fruit with high oil content, Lamb Hass delivers a buttery, nutty taste that avocado lovers crave.
This variety is especially valued for its late-season harvest, extending avocado production well into the warmer months when other varieties have finished. In a 7-gallon pot, this grafted tree is well-established and approaching fruiting maturity—perfect for South Florida growers looking to enjoy high-quality, Hass-like avocados at home.
Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):
Sunlight: Full sun—6 to 8 hours daily for optimal flowering and fruit production.
Watering: Moderate. Water deeply when the top 2–3 inches of soil dry out. Maintain consistent moisture but avoid waterlogged conditions.
Soil: Well-draining sandy or loamy soil enriched with compost. Excellent drainage is essential for avocado health.
Fertilizer: Apply a citrus or avocado fertilizer 3–4 times per year. Supplement with micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc, and iron.
Growth Habit: Moderately vigorous with an upright, slightly spreading canopy. Typically reaches 15–25 feet in-ground but can be maintained smaller with pruning. In a 7-gallon pot, trees are generally 3–5 feet tall.
Pollination Type: Type A. Benefits from a Type B avocado variety nearby for increased yields.
Temperature: USDA Zones 9b–11. Performs best in warm climates but has moderate cold tolerance. Protect young trees from frost.
Maintenance: Moderate. Prune after harvest to maintain structure and airflow. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and improve soil health.
Harvest & Seasonality:
Planting Time: Best planted spring through early fall for strong root establishment.
Harvest Time: Late season—typically June through August (varies slightly in South Florida).
How to Harvest: Pick when fruit reaches full size and skin darkens. Allow to ripen off the tree for 5–7 days.
Fruit Characteristics: Large, pear-shaped fruit with dark green to black skin. Flesh is thick, creamy, and high in oil with a rich, nutty, Hass-like flavor.
