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

Large, roundish-oval nut with mid-brown shell; good flavour but only moderate kernel yield.

Very vigorous, spreading bush/tree needing firm pruning.

High, regular yields; long the most-planted breeding cultivar outside Turkey/Italy.

Highly susceptible to Eastern Filbert Blight; being replaced in Oregon by resistant cultivars.
