Hi all,
Here is a peculiar avocado of which leaves are similar to that of Fuerte, and
of which fruit is similar to that of Hass.
The special features of this avocado are as follows:

1. Leaves are rather round shapen and the surface is very smooth and rather
waxy.
2. The fruit is 2 months old and its skin is rather rough as Hass's fruit. It might
be so as it is still very young and it could be smoother as it grows.

Not sure, but here's a great resource for ID'ing and comparing avocados:

If your in California the tropical fruit nursery will be of little use to you since our avocados are all from the Caribbean group. Yours are likely to be of Mexican heritage. There fruit is much smaller and has more fat content, and Californians are quick to say better flavor. If you bought a grafted tree and have forgotten the name, take a ripe fruit to a local grower. If the tree was already on your property when you bought it, then you more likely have a seedling. Maybe 50% of back yard avocados are seedlings in south Florida. All of the fancy varieties started as back yard seedlings.
