Their differences are:

  • In color and outward appearance.
  • The Hass avocado trees grow faster, produces more fruit, and are easier to propagate.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
