These trees produce smaller fruit compared to the traditional Hass variety, making them unique and highly desirable.

These trees, measured from the top of the root ball, are 18–36” tall, with a trunk diameter between 1/4–1/2 inch. The trees are 12–18 months old and should start bearing fruit in their 5th year. They are planted in a 5x12" grower’s pot. Within a month of delivery, we suggest repotting into a larger (10"–12" diameter) container or planting directly in the ground.
