☀️ Light Requirements

This tropical fruit tree requires Full Sun to perform at its best. Provide at least 6 to 8 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight daily to encourage robust canopy growth and abundant fruit production.

💧 Water Requirements

Water deeply but infrequently. Allow the top 2 to 3 inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Ensure the planting site or pot has excellent drainage, as avocado roots are highly susceptible to root rot in waterlogged conditions.

In optimal outdoor conditions, the Lamb Hass Avocado can grow up to 15-20 feet tall, but it can be easily pruned to maintain a compact 6-8 feet height for large containers or patio spaces.

🌍 Origin & Characteristics

Developed in California as a cross between Hass and Gwyn varieties, the Lamb Hass is prized worldwide for its exceptional heat tolerance, wind resistance, and late-season ripening, extending the fresh avocado harvest period.

📇 Toxicity & Safety Warning

Please note that all parts of the avocado plant—including the leaves, bark, and seeds—contain a toxin called persin, which is highly toxic to domestic pets such as dogs, cats, birds, and horses.
