The most popular type of avocado is Hass avocados. According to a popular magazine, 80% of the avocados consumed worldwide are these luscious, creamy, pebble-skinned fruits. The food connoisseurs at Impala Greens tell you everything you need to know about Hass avocados:
Benefits-packed with Nutrition:
There is nothing better than a carefully grown Hass avocado and that’s why farmers and supermarket shops love these fruits for their impressive shelf life. Hass avocado trees start to develop fruit and are ready for harvest with the appropriate conditions and a little work. The result is this nutritious fruit that is high in potassium, jam-packed with monounsaturated fat and a good source of fiber and folate. When added to your diet they can help you lower your cholesterol and can keep you satisfied longer.
Features-A Long Life:
The Hass Avocado has green leaves and a rough skin that turns black when harvested and a moderately veined, glossy appearance. The tree height can reach up to 30 feet tall above the ground and up to 7 feet tall in a container. It needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day and grows on evergreen trees. Its loose, sandy or especially well-draining soil composition requires extreme caution. It practically has a lifespan of 200–400 years.
How is the planting done at Impala Green:
The farmers associated with Impala Greens always make sure the soil is warmed before planting a Hass avocado tree, ideally between March and June. Because they have great drainage and abundant sun their wind-sheltered location is ideal for the plantation.
Now they make a hole that is three times the diameter and three to four times the depth of the seedling’s container. The hole, which is a little above the surrounding soil’s level, is gently filled with seedlings. The earth is gently compacted by adding backfill to the hole.
The newly planted Hass avocado tree is cared for by watering it every other day or every three days for the first week or so, then twice weekly for the following few months.
