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 green nuts with plenty of sweet, refreshing water.

Short stature, early bearing after 3-4 years, predominantly self-pollinating.

Very high nut count per palm, year-round harvest in the tropics.

Popular for the fresh market; also susceptible to lethal yellowing.
