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 golden-yellow nuts with sweet water, ideal as drinking coconut.

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

High nut count (up to 100+/year), but lower copra content per nut.

Mother line of Maypan and MYD x WCT hybrids; susceptible to lethal yellowing.
