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

Smaller, oval-elongated fruit (~60 g) with hairy skin and green flesh.

Female cultivar, needs a male pollinator. Mid-late flowering and ripening.

Very high fruit count, tends to over-set; thinning recommended.

Displaced commercially by Hayward because of its small fruit size.
