Description: The Hass Avocado Mother Tree, located in La Habra Heights, California, is the original tree from which all Hass avocados are descended. Planted by Rudolph Hass in the late 1920s, this tree produced a unique variety of avocado with a rich, creamy texture and superior taste, which quickly gained popularity. Despite its humble beginnings, the Hass avocado has become the most commercially successful avocado variety worldwide. The mother tree itself lived until 2002, succumbing to root rot, but its legacy endures through the millions of Hass avocado trees cultivated globally.
