Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Broad-oval to heart-shaped fruit (~70 g) with hairy skin and green flesh.

Female cultivar, needs a male pollinator. Early-flowering, similar to Abbott.

Good, even yield; frost-sensitive due to early bloom.

Part of the old Abbott/Allison/Bruno/Monty group that preceded Hayward.
