Initially, Hass planned to graft Fuerte avocados onto this rootstock, but when the grafts failed, he decided to grow the tree from the seedling. The result was the Hass avocado, which eventually became the dominant variety in the global avocado industry. By the 1970s, Hass avocados made up the majority of avocados sold in the U.S. Today, the Hass avocado is the leading variety grown worldwide, thanks to its excellent flavor, year-round growing season, and hardy nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Los Angeles County Nursery","offers":[{"title":"5 Gal - ~2ft tall \u0026 ~1\/2\" trunk","offer_id":41190821494895,"sku":"HAT-5GS","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"15 Gal - ~5ft tall \u0026 ~1\" trunk","offer_id":41190821527663,"sku":"HAT-15G","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"25 Gal \/ 24\" Box  - ~6Ft Tall \u0026 2\" Trunk","offer_id":41256593326191,"sku":"","price":590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/4336\/6767\/files\/IMG_0095.jpg?v=1698884382"},{"product_id":"dancy-mandarin-tree","title":"Dancy Mandarin Tree","description":"\u003ch2 data-start=\"302\" data-end=\"338\"\u003eDancy Mandarin \/ Tangerine Tree\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"340\" data-end=\"666\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-start=\"344\" data-end=\"367\"\u003eDancy Mandarin Tree\u003c\/strong\u003e, often called the Dancy Tangerine, is a classic heirloom citrus variety prized for its rich flavor, vibrant color, and heavy fruit production.
