Flowering
Fruit harvest

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

Small to medium, elongated-oval fruit with thin rind, few seeds and very juicy, sweet flesh.

Vigorous tree with a marked tendency to flush and flower several times per year.

Brazil's leading fresh-market variety; multiple bloom cycles spread the harvest over many months.

As a Southern-Hemisphere/tropical variety without a fixed Northern-Hemisphere season; harvest window depends on the bloom flush.
