Fruit harvest

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

Pale yellow to cream, dense flesh with a balanced, slightly bitter sweetness and creamy texture.

Productive traditional trade cultivar; the benchmark before Musang King's rise.

Often identified by a lighter ring at the fruit base. Very widespread in Malaysia.
