Confusion

OK, I'm writing this not from an editorial POV but from that of a confused reader. The article states that Hass yield all year around, but goes on to talk about yield by season. Where does a season begin or end if the Hass yields all year around? Some clarification on this point may be required. Tomalak Geret'kal (talk) 01:16, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think from my observation the idea about hass yield all year round depends on planting period, the area climate and the purpose for production. A small family with hass trees in their ochard will always believe the tree has ready fruit all year round whilst a commercial farm will harvest for three months idealy everything for export and wait for the next season.

Cuttings or seeds?

I've been told by a plant geneticist that all hass avocado trees came from grafts from that one original tree (or from grafts from those grafted trees). Is anyone really sure that 'hass' trees were ever produced from seeds from this original tree in La Habra Heights, CA?
