Turner Hass is a large-fruited sport of Hass avocado that produces 10% heavier crops than regular Hass. It has richer flavor than Hass but slightly trails in dry matter accumulation. The fruit is approximately 17% larger than Hass with higher flesh recovery. About 1% of Turner Hass fruit has natural chimera markings but is marketed as regular Hass. Two new rootstock varieties, SHSR-02 and SHSR-04, show potential for high production and disease resistance across different environments. SHSR-02 has good uniformity and resistance to Phytophthora root rot. SHSR-04 has significantly better health than other rootstocks and is easy to clone.
