Topic: Super Hass avocado (Read 3321 times) Show Biggest thing is I'm wondering is flower type on it because I have a customer would like to pair it with another avocado tree LoggedCall Fruitscapes in Bokeelia, FL. They sell it. They should know. LoggedJohn It is an A flower it is from a seedling of Hass. It was developed in Louisiana and was called an Ooh la la before a name change. I have one and it is an excellent producer. I have found it does not do well with heavy pruning. So prune with care. Mine has done well here in the Tampa area. LoggedTy for you're helpful information LoggedIt is an A flower it is from a seedling of Hass. It was developed in Louisiana and was called an Ooh la la before a name change. I have one and it is an excellent producer. I have found it does not do well with heavy pruning. So prune with care. Mine has done well here in the Tampa area. So it's a large tree? How is the flavor? LoggedJohn They can get big and the fruits can get up to about a pound very creamy just like a hass and still very cold hardy about 24-25 Fahrenheit LoggedDoes anyone have photos of fruit cut up of this one? LoggedBrad Spaugh I could take a picture of one on the tree right now but they are quite immature. They are creamy with a deep rich flavor. I like them better than a regular haas as the taste is a bit richer. Mine are a bit larger than a regular hass maybe 20 to 30%. Right now they look just like an immature Hass and when ripe look just like a hass only a little larger. They seem to grow at a good pace and are very good producers. I would not be surprised if they become a commercial product. One issue is they do take a long time to ripen. LoggedI could take a picture of one on the tree right now but they are quite immature.

When do they ripen? LoggedJohn September to October supposed to be the ripening season all my tree to small to maintain fruit so I can't really confirm it « Last Edit: June 14, 2020, 10:41:20 AM by Nyuu » September to October supposed to be the ripening season all my tree to small to maintain fruit so I can't really confirm it « Last Edit: June 14, 2020, 08:53:49 PM by johnb51 » LoggedJohn This is my Super Hass in a 3 gallon pot on March 25, 2019 which I purchased from Excalibur.

Thanks for posting, your tree looks great! My Super Hass is a bit bigger then where you started with yours, it�s nice to have an idea of what to expect. Still interested to hear more from BPDUKE about their fruiting tree. « Last Edit: June 14, 2020, 08:55:10 PM by canesgirl821 » LoggedI would be nice know more about super Hass and if BPDUKE try Duke 7 avocado how to say compared to it flavor-wise LoggedI wish to inform everyone who has an interest in all the substitutes for the real Haas because you are under the impression that one cannot grow a �real Haas� in Florida that you now can grow the real Haas even in Miami as my 4 Haas trees have proven. This is a previously patented variety called Haas Carmen. I bought mine in California 6 years ago and they are exactly the same variety you buy in Publix. The name is still under copyright so one can
reproduce this tree but cannot sell it using the name Haas Carmen. There is only 1 nursery at this time in Homestead that is reproducing these trees but it�s being called a Mexican Haas. I gave Zill scions so that they can start reproducing this variety themselves. « Last Edit: June 15, 2020, 06:45:56 AM by weiss613 » LoggedI wish to inform everyone who has an interest in all the substitutes for the real Haas because you are under the impression that one cannot grow a �real Haas� in Florida that you now can grow the real Haas even in Miami as my 4 Haas trees have proven.

I deleted my original comment cuz I thought it sounded unkind. John I deleted my original comment cuz I thought it sounded unkind. The title of this thread is SUPER HASS and his post also has accuracy issues. I will say no more.

I think you meant the name is trademarked and not copyrighted. Here is a link to what I think may be the expired patent information for this variety: https://patents.google.com/patent/USPP11173P/en Here is a link to the trademark information: http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4809:l9hixe.2.1 LoggedYes, patent has expired on Carmen Hass as they call it in California and other places around world. Supposed to be multi-cropper in Mexico anyway Brokaw Nursery had patent or trademark or awhile here in Ca.Thanks for link Murahilian « Last Edit: June 15, 2020, 12:01:38 PM by ScottR » LoggedI think it's very useful to know that there is an alternative to Super Hass that also produces well in South Florida. It's the Carmen Hass, which is being offered by a nursery in Homestead under the name "Mexican Hass." Also, ZHPP was given the scions so it's possible that they may start producing this tree. So thanks, Weiss, for letting us know. LoggedJohn Agree, thanks for the info Weiss. If you get a chance, can you post some pix? I have a strong aversion to the west indian avocadoes and am always on the lookout for new hass cultivars that do well here. LoggedI will make a video of each of my Hass Carmen�s and put it on YouTube then give you guys the link and if you want you can send me an email or text and I can tell you the name of the nursery in Homestead. I don�t want to make it look like I have a financial interest in this at all because I don�t. How big does a super Hass avocado tree get?Outdoors, this fruit-bearing tree will reach heights of 15 to 20 feet and a width of 5 to 8 feet at full maturity. But when it's container-grown, it will reach a height between 5 to 7 feet, allowing easy harvesting.
Is Super Hass avocado Type A or B?Hass avocado trees are type A, meaning that they flower from February through May. When the flowers first open in the morning, they are female until they close in the afternoon. The following afternoon, they reopen as pollen-producing male flowers. So, Hass avocado trees can be categorized as somewhat self-pollinating.
How do you grow a super Hass avocado tree?'Hass' prefers a well-drained, wind-sheltered location in full sun. It does not tolerate freezing temperatures; in frost-prone areas, plant the tree 23 to 30 feet from the southern side of the house. If the soil is heavy clay, consider building a 2-foot-tall by 3- to 5- foot diameter mound or raised bed.
How long does a Hass avocado tree take to grow?The trees begin bearing fruit in three to five years and can thrive for decades. Like other fruits, each Hass avocado emerges from a bloom on the tree. A mature tree can produce more than a million flowers during each of its two annual blooms.
