. . . that the original Hass tree was actually a chance seedling, grown by postman Rudolf Hass whose children preferred the fruit over other varieties?

Hass
Small to medium sized egg-shaped fruit weighing between 140 and 400 g. The skin is thick, rough, green and turns purple-black when ripe, separates easily from the flesh, and is leathery to woody in texture. Flesh is yellow and creamy, excellent quality with rich and nutty taste. Excellent keeper.
Hass is predominantly Guatemalan but with some Mexican genes.
It was selected by Mr. Rudolph Hass at La Glabra Heights, California in 1935. It is a heavy bearer.
