By the way, I know people dont like hearing that about GEM they say it tastes very similar to hass. Ive eaten enough of them and had them early and way late into the season and they just are not as good as hass. They have ripening issues, grit in the skin, off color flesh, and lower oil and less nuttiness than hass or gwen. Its just not as good. You really need to wait really late into the season before they even start getting anywhere close to a regular hass. In May regular hass is prime here. For GEM, it needs to wait until late June or July to peak. And at that time, I still rate it lower than a hass or gwen. In fact I like gwen way better, its strange gwen isn't marketed. I think if given the choice, consumers would agree.
