The best Avocados are from California. Harvest the benefits of over 600 Mature Hass Avocado Trees.
Hass is an avocado with dark-colored bumpy skin. It is named for its originator, a mail carrier and amateur horticulturist Rudolph Hass.
It is the most important avocado in the commercial market worldwide. In the United States, it accounts for more than 80% of the avocado crop, including 95% of the California crop, and it is also the most widely grown avocado in New Zealand.
If you plant an avocado seed, you will have no idea what the fruit will be like... The only way to have the true "Hass" guaranteed avocados is to graft a Hass branch on another root that grows well in your region. Hence, all Hass trees in the world, from Chile to Spain, are grown from branches of
the original tree. That original tree was owned by Harold Brokaw who passed away only a few years ago.
Santa Paula's economy is primarily agriculturally based, originally focusing on the growing of oranges and lemons. Recently, however, avocados have also been grown, and an avocado was added to the city's official seal (Hass Avocados is headquartered here.)
Santa Paula's mediterranean climate combined with an estimated 20 feet (6.1 m) of topsoil have made it one of the best locations for growing citrus.
The climate and soil have been the main factors in helping this grove flourish over time. All the work, and time, establishing the grove has been done. It's currently ripe for the picking - for the right investor.
