1 extra large GEM avocado from Will Brokaw.

The Gem is a Hass like variety. It's skin is dark & slightly less pebbly. It is bigger and rounder in shape. And it has a high oil content, has an excellent flavor and ripens & slices beautifully.

It's literally a granddaughter variety of the Hass. UC Riverside professor Grey E. Martin (G.E.M.), planted an ungrafted Hass seedling which led to the Thille variety. He then planted an ungrafted Thille seedling which led to the Gem, which he named after himself, and the Gwen, named after his wife. So not only is the Gem a Hass granddaughter but also a Gwen sister. For those of you who just started working with us, the Gwen is one of the Brokaw varieties most coveted by restaurant & retail customers alike. And for those of you familiar with the Gwen, a Gem is like a dark skinned Gwen.
