It's one of those devastating fashion things - I guess someone must have been growing an army of grafted Hass avocado trees. I can still remember it happening, Hass are better, Hass has more oil content and somehow everyone planted Hass. It has a thick knobbly skin it has a way of being not ripe, ripe and nice to eat for one to two seconds and then over-ripe. and it never has the same taste of a Fuerte with it's fine green skin, and generous sweet spot of ripeness, and large shapely fruit - I mean it beats the Hass in every regard. Maybe if you were growing them to extract the oil it might be a different equation, don't know.
There is a beautiful grown itself from seed large Fuerte avocado tree where I used to live. This is a tree whose seed should spread and multiply. But I remember at the time of the Hass planting feeling worried that it was an inferior tree because it was grown from seed and it took years for me to slowly make the comparisons and realise how superior it's fruit really was.
