Ironically enough, Florida Hass isn't from Florida at all; its actually from California, where it was a seedling that was part of a research program. It was brought to Florida by the Zill family where it was later given its name.
The fruit does resemble the traditional Hass but doesn't turn black, remaining green at maturity. The flesh is pale colored, and very rich, creamy and nut flavored.
The fruit ripens in the fall here, typically from October through November. Florida Hass appears to have less issues with uneven ripening than some other Hass-variants trialed in Florida, such as Ulala. It has generally performed well for us.
The trees are moderately vigorous growers. and produce A-type flowers.
