Taste & characteristics

sweettenderaromatic

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 fruit; dark-brown, aromatic 'cinnamon flesh' forms around the seeds.

PVNA type (pollination-variant): non-astringent when seeded, astringent when seedless.

Good yields; needs pollinator trees for the characteristic brown flesh colour.

A popular amateur cultivar in Italy; very sweet with adequate seed set.
