I paid $32 per tree, each was 12 inches high and 15 inches deep with thick long roots. My local Armstrong sells slightly taller avocado trees $39 each. I bought GEM because my family in Europe say it tastes similar to Hass. It's supposedly a slow / low vigor tree with high productivity, whatever that means. I needed something smaller than Hass without the hassle of aggressive pruning to keep less than 15 feet high.
