• Superior Climate Adaptation: This grafted avocado plant is specifically noted for its excellent performance and consistent, high yield in warmer, humid climates like Florida, outperforming its parent Hass variety in such conditions.
• Enhanced Cold Tolerance: Known to be highly cold tolerant, this tree can withstand temperatures down to the low 20s Fahrenheit, offering greater resilience against unexpected cold snaps compared to many other avocado varieties.
• Delicious, High-Quality Fruit: The ‘Oh La La’ avocado produces fruits that are almost indistinguishable from the classic Hass in their rich, nutty flavor and exceptionally buttery, creamy texture, making them perfect for guacamole, salads, and more.

• Reliable Production: Gardeners can expect higher and much more consistent fruit production from this variety, ensuring a steady supply of fresh avocados.
• Grafted for Quicker Fruiting: Being a grafted avocado plant means it will mature and begin fruiting much sooner than trees grown from seed, getting you to harvest quicker.
• Attractive Evergreen Foliage: Beyond its fruit, the tree itself is an attractive evergreen specimen, providing year-round lush greenery to your landscape.

Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Super Hass Avocado Tree is a rewarding experience that will lead to abundant harvests. For optimal growth and fruit production, ensure it receives plenty of sunlight. Avocado trees thrive in full sun, meaning at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day. Choose a location in your garden that is sheltered from strong winds, especially when the tree is young. While this variety is noted for its cold tolerance, providing some protection during extreme freezes, especially for young trees, can further ensure its health and productivity.

Watering is crucial, particularly during the establishment phase and dry periods. Keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. A good rule of thumb is to water deeply when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Ensure excellent drainage, as avocado trees are susceptible to root rot in standing water. A well-draining soil mix, ideally sandy loam, is preferred. Fertilize your grafted avocado plant with a balanced slow-release fertilizer designed for fruit trees, following package directions, typically in spring, summer, and fall. Pruning should be done to maintain a manageable size, encourage branching, and remove any dead or diseased wood. The ‘Oh La La’ variety is a hardy choice, making cold tolerant avocado growing accessible.
