The avocado plant (Persea americana) is a subtropical tree with lustrous dark green evergreen leaves that often emerge flushed with orange or red. It is grown for the abundant production of its well-known, delicious, buttery fruits. Trees can be grown as potted specimens and protected indoors during Canadian winters. 'Hass' is the largest of the commercially grown avocados with a delicious flavour and a high oil content. The large oval fruit can weigh 10-12 oz with a green, pebbly skin that turns black when ripe. The tasty, creamy, golden green flesh surrounds a small to medium seed.  Trees are vigorous and will need some space. Keep above 0 degrees C (32 degrees F). It is an A Type and requires a B Type for cross pollination and to get fruit on both trees.
