  It was July 1 I planted a Hass Avocado seed...I soaked it in water for 2 weeks until it split.<br>It is now about 1 foot tall with quite a few luscious leaves and even new sprouts on the main stem. &nbsp;I was told by my local nursery it would never grow! <br>Well to my surprise mine did...!!!

  One great reason Hass avocados are the number 1 farmed avocado in California is they hold on the tree for a long time. Farmers can pick them slowly and size pick them, giving them time to get bigger. It&apos;s a little like the stock market. It&apos;s always a gamble, Do I pick now or wait and see if prices get better. They can last for more than year on the tree. Unlike most green skin avocados that come to the end of their lifecycle at the end of summer. Also the Hass avocado is a durable fruit. It doesn&apos;t bruise easily and can be shipped all over the world.

  Fun fact; Rudolph Hass wanted to take down this tree but his kids forced him to keep it alive. So its thanks to his kids we have the Hass avocado today🙃👍

  I got a really great Hass avocado tree at Costco for $25 about three years ago. &nbsp;The tree has grown fast and I got my first crop this year. &nbsp;Nice big avocados. This was my 5th try at growing a Hass. &nbsp;So, if you want a good avocado tree get the Costco one. &nbsp;I think it&apos;s a self pollinating one...grows 25 feet tall.

  My Dad planted a Hass Avocade Seed and has grown to 3 1/2 ft and has given a bit of flowers and fruit. I used the hand pollination technique.

  We got 4 avocado seeds growing in just water and about to transfer them into pots. They already sprouted and grown into about a foot or foot and half baby trees. <br><br>We live in the high desert so we have to keep them inside during winter nights and inside during the summer.<br><br>Hopefully the 2 seeds from the tree my dad planted (also from a seed given to him) grow well. I&apos;ve never liked Hass. Every time we buy them at the market they never tasty oily or creamy enough. My mom says the taste like water and no flavor. I think the one he planted was either a Pinkerton, Fuerte, or Zutano.

  That &quot;someone&quot; Hass bought the seeds from was my great grandfather Albert Raymond Rideout.

  Thanks for demonstrating why one should not create a tutorial just because a friend has an old avocado tree. The first rookie giveaway was the fact that he couldn’t even pronounce the name of the tree correctly. Avocado trees do require quite a bit of water but only every five days or so even in extreme heat. Watering daily is a good way to drown the roots. Video tutorials are more useful when based on your own experience.🤗
