It is an A flower it is from a seedling of Hass. It was developed in Louisiana and was called an Ooh la la before a name change. I have one and it is an excellent producer. I have found it does not do well with heavy pruning. So prune with care. Mine has done well here in the Tampa area.
I could take a picture of one on the tree right now but they are quite immature. They are creamy with a deep rich flavor. I like them better than a regular haas as the taste is a bit richer. Mine are a bit larger than a regular hass maybe 20 to 30%. Right now they look just like an immature Hass and when ripe look just like a hass only a little larger. They seem to grow at a good pace and are very good producers. I would not be surprised if they become a commercial product. One issue is they do take a long time to ripen.
September to October supposed to be the ripening season all my tree to small to maintain fruit so I can't really confirm it
This is my Super Hass in a 3 gallon pot on March 25, 2019 which I purchased from Excalibur. The next picture is of the same tree which I planted in the ground last weekend.
I wish to inform everyone who has an interest in all the substitutes for the real Haas because you are under the impression that one cannot grow a “real Haas” in Florida that you now can grow the real Haas even in Miami as my 4 Haas trees have proven. This is a previously patented variety called Haas Carmen. I bought mine in California 6 years ago and they are exactly the same variety you buy in Publix. The name is still under copyright so one can reproduce this tree but cannot sell it using the name Haas Carmen. There is only 1 nursery at this time in Homestead that is reproducing these trees but it’s being called a Mexican Haas. I gave Zill scions so that they can start reproducing this variety themselves. Hard to believe I’ve got 4 beautiful big healthy Haas trees growing in Kendall with lots and lots of perfect Haas youngins growing and staying clean on the trees right through maturity. I have zero financial interest in this.
