Fruit
Lamb Hass
A tier
Lamb Hass is a Hass-like seedling selection with pebbly skin that darkens at ripeness, richer late-season fruit, and often larger size than standard Hass. Flesh is creamy and high-oil with classic Hass nuttiness; the harvest window hangs later, extending black-skin avocado supply. Trees can be vigorous and productive in suitable climates. Use exactly like Hass for guacamole and toast when available in late summer and autumn. Retail may simply label it Hass-type; specialty growers name it. A practical way to stretch premium dark avocado beyond peak Hass flush.
