Fruit harvest

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

Medium, oval fruit that stays greenish-yellow even when ripe, with low-fibre, highly aromatic, sweet-tart flesh.

Vigorous tree; a traditional North Indian cultivar.

North Indian harvest July to August.

The name ('the lame one') traces back to the first tree owned by a lame gardener in Varanasi.
