Know before you buy
The Lamb Hass produces larger fruit than the standard Hass and matures about a month later in the season. It maintains the same rich, creamy flavor profile but offers a slightly different harvest window.
No, the Lamb Hass features Type A flowers and is self-fertile. You will get fruit with just a single tree, though having other avocado varieties nearby can sometimes improve overall yields.
This tree thrives in well-drained soil. It is best to plant it in unamended soil, as avocado trees prefer consistent drainage over soil enriched with heavy organic matter.
The Lamb Hass has an upright and compact growth habit, making it more manageable than some sprawling avocado varieties. However, you should still allow enough room for it to reach its mature height and width while ensuring it remains sheltered from strong winds.
During the first growing season, the tree requires deep, regular watering to establish a strong root system. Once established, it prefers average to moist soil conditions.
The fruit ripens between May and November. Because the Lamb Hass matures later than other varieties, it provides a great way to extend your home harvest season.
