Flower Type: A  /  Mexican  /  Harvest: Oct-Dec

‘Super Hass’ is a seedling of Hass originally planted in Louisiana, and was found to have improved production in humid areas compared to the California-grown Hass. The fruit is similar, small with black skin, and has an excellent rich, nutty flavor.  It ripens from October to December.  The tree grows upright with medium-high vigor.

Latin name - Persea americana

The Avocado tree originates from the highlands of Central America, and has been under human cultivation for at least 5,000 years.  Rich with monounsaturated fats, vitamins, and minerals, Avocados are a supremely healthy fruit.  Their rich, buttery flavor and culinary versatility make them a prized ingredient in kitchens worldwide, but mostly we think of Avocados as a pillar of Mexican cuisine.  

Avocado trees can thrive in a broad range of climates and growing conditions, but one of their most remarkable features is their widespread fruiting season.  In Florida, Avocado season is at its peak in the late-summer and fall months, but fruit can be harvested almost year-round when planting multiple varieties with overlapping ripening periods.   See our Avocado variety guide below for information on early, mid, and late ripening cultivars.

The Avocado tree itself is reasonably fast growing, evergreen, and usually takes a wide, bushy form.  Tree vigor can vary between varieties, and each seems to have their own unique leaf shape and growth habit.  Avocado trees can begin to bloom in early spring and continue through summer, usually shedding lots of leaves during the onset of the bloom period.  They require ample water to thrive, but will not tolerate flooding, standing water, or overly saturated soils.   Root rot can occur quickly when standing water is present, so choose a location with well draining soil or consider planting on a mound.  

In backyard cultivation as well as commercial growing, it is recommended to prune Avocado trees from a young age to encourage lateral branching, which leads to easier harvesting as fruit is kept within reach.  Pruning can be done in mid-summer as well as after harvest.  Avocado trees need full sun to thrive, but in our plantings we have noticed that young trees benefit greatly from partial shade in the first couple of years while establishing.  This can be achieved by planting fast growing support species in the vicinity of your tree, and pruning periodically to manage the level of sunlight hitting your tree.

Grafted Avocado trees will usually produce fruit within two years, but seedling trees take 8-10 years on average, with varying fruit quality.  One common misconception about Avocado trees is that multiple trees are required to get fruit.  This isn’t exactly the case, but it stems from the fact that Avocados have two different classes of flowers - Type A and Type B.  These are distinguished by their tendency to exhibit their male and female anatomy at different times of day.  Type A flowers will open as females in the morning of the first day, and then close.  In the afternoon of the second day, the flowers will open again, this time as males.  Type B flowers open as females on the afternoon of the first day, then close and open again as males the following morning.  Both Type A and Type B Avocado trees are capable of self-pollinating and will produce fruit on their own, without another tree present.  However, this split flowering pattern means that fruit set and overall yield can be significantly increased when both types are planted in close proximity to each other.  For this reason, we do recommend planting multiple trees if you have the space.  As mentioned above, different Avocado cultivars can be harvested many months of the year.  So if you love eating avocados, you’ll benefit from planting both A and B types as well as early, mid, and late ripening varieties.

One final major distinction between Avocado types is their geographical origin and associated traits.  There are three primary races of Avocados:  Mexican, Guatemalan, and West Indian.  Each of these categories have distinct qualities of both the fruit and the tree. 

Mexican Avocados are the most tolerant of cold weather, some even surviving temperatures below 20 degrees fahrenheit.  They are the least salt tolerant, and generally more adapted to dryer conditions.  Their leaves tend to be smaller and pointier, and sometimes the crushed leaves will smell of anise.  This seems to be an indication of cold tolerance.  Mexican avocados are relatively small and have a thin, waxy skin, often turning black at maturity, but not always.  The oil content of the fruit tends to be higher than other types, making them creamier.

Guatemalan Avocados are somewhat less cold tolerant, but still plenty hardy from south Florida to central Florida.  They are fairly salt tolerant.  The fruit can vary in size but are usually larger than pure Mexican types.  Guatemalan avocados have a thicker skin, usually with a rough texture, and color can vary from dark green to black.  The oil content of the fruit is average, somewhere between the Mexican and West Indian types.  The fruit takes the longest to develop on the tree compared to the other types.

West Indian Avocados can be somewhat vulnerable to cold and are better planted in the southern part of Florida, or in a warm microclimate or coastal region further north.  They have a much higher level of salt tolerance compared to Mexican types.  The leaves tend to be larger and more round.  The skin of the fruit is thin and usually shiny but sometimes dull green.  The fruit can vary in size but some of the largest avocados come from the West Indian race.  The oil content is lower than Guatemalan and Mexican types and can have a more watery flavor.  Often when people refer to “Florida” avocados, they are actually referring to West Indian varieties.

Many cultivated Avocado varieties are a hybrid of two or more of these types.  It is important to note that these categories don’t necessarily indicate the growth rate/size of the tree, amount of fruit production, harvest season, or flavor/eating quality of the fruit.  Each cultivar will have its own tendencies.  

Perhaps the most common question asked by customers choosing an avocado variety is this:  “Is it a creamy ‘Hass’ or a watery ‘Florida’ avocado?”

The reality is that there is a large spectrum of flavor, and oil content alone doesn’t always determine whether an avocado is enjoyable.  We are used to buying Hass avocados at the grocery store, due to their massive commercial production in California and Mexico,  but the Hass variety isn’t produced and actually doesn’t perform all that well in Florida, because of our heavy seasonal rainfall and high level of humidity.  Many of our favorite avocado varieties come from all over the spectrum, including West Indian, Mexican, and Guatemalan types and their hybrids.  If you enjoy eating Avocados and they are an important part of your diet, you’ll be thrilled when you can pick them from your own trees!  One of the best perks of growing avocados is that they don’t need to be picked all at once, and can be harvested a few at a time from the tree and ripened on your counter for whenever you need them. We encourage you to try as many varieties as you can, and discover your own favorites!

If you want a book on the details of AI without math and statistics, this is it
Format: Paperback
I had this book a year or two back and then sold a lot of books as they piled up. After that I read a good number of books on AI. Of those, Ethan Mollick's book Co-Intelligence is best for the user end. But then there was still the issue of how do they do it? If you want to understand the process how AI works, there are a few books like this. Melanie Mitchell tends to focus on pictures. When you read ANY of these book, you will come to a page where you think "this makes no sense." You get there because the way AI chops up information and stores it in "cells" and then processes in stages (deep learining, hidden layers) is not how we think. They are not brains, though the neural network has some similarity to ours. You will simply need to finish the book. This one or the one you bought. Then read another one, if needed. It will make a lot of sense if you finish the book. Then you just generalize where you are at. I am never going to write Python or get deeply involved in tha manner. I am quite familiar with the free vesrions and I am able to check what summaries I get from AI. I will also keep up with the language part of it. AI does not study grammar the way we do. It looks for patterns in millions of examples. I have since 2023 gone through most of the 20 dollar range books. This one is the best.

Great, funny intro to AI
Format: Hardcover
This is a wonderful, humorous introduction to AI that is a fast read packed full of examples. It makes a great gift for friends or family who don’t know much about the field, and I imagine it would be especially interesting to teens. I loved the way she used running jokes to make connections between themes. Shane is clearly on a mission to make AI more accessible. It’s funny, someone else said they didn’t like this book because it wasn’t enough like Shane’s tear-inducingly-hilarious blog. But here’s the thing: I can read the blog for free! I was actually nervous that I was going to be getting a repeat of the blog in book form, but it was super different. If you’re a computer science scholar, maybe skip this one, but I don’t think that was the audience Shane was trying to reach.

Humorous intro-level book to AI
Format: Hardcover
If you are new to the field of AI, this is a fun read. The author does a fine job breaking down complex topics into bite-size, entertaining sections. However, if you are not new to the field of AI, you'll probably find this book boring and will find more joy in visiting the author's popular website. Personally, I find this book forgettable and not living up to the hype.

Captivating storytelling and educational material
Format: Paperback
My ten years old boy loved WW2 in Europe: Great Battles for Boys. He likes to read about war and it his third book from Joe Giorello. It is an engaging and easy-to-understand account of significant World War II moments designed for young boys. It has pictures and maps so they can have a better understanding about the War and through captivating storytelling and educational material, it provides a valuable introduction to this crucial era, promoting a greater comprehension and respect for the experiences and achievements of individuals during that time.

Why are these books so hard to find in libraries and bookstores??!
Format: Paperback
Bought nearly the whole book series after reading the reviews. My 8 and 10 year old boys love these books. My 10 year old read the first book on his way to and from soccer practice. He couldn't put it down and kept telling me what he read. My boys have read all the "Magic Treehouse", "I Survived" and some "I Escaped" books, as well as "Big Nate", "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", etc. BUT these battle books are the best. They really teach about the history of the wars which have shaped our modern times. WHY are these books so hard to find in libraries and bookstores... at least in Maryland? Maybe because "Great Battles for Boys" reeks of toxic masculinity? I really wonder. In any case, great books especially if you want your boys to read serious, informative books that are interesting and entertaining.
