Why a Hass Avocado Seed Does Not Give Us a Hass Avocado Tree

Avocados do not grow true to seed. That means if you plant the seed from an avocado you ate the resulting tree will not produce the same type of avocado. We use candy to demonstrate how pollination and DNA create a unique tree from every avocado seed. Also, we show how growers use grafting to make sure their tree produces the type of avocado they want. If you want to buy a grafted tree or some budwood to try your hand at grafting your own go to We also sell 10lb boxes of avocados.
