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

Vigorous tree; fruit hangs long without quality loss.

Popular late market variety in California; alternate bearing.

Unattractive, bumpy rind despite first-rate flavour.
