Taste & characteristics

nuttysweetaromatic

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

Elongated, flattened, tapered light kernel; hard shell.

Very early-flowering, self-sterile; therefore frost-prone.

Prized for roasting quality and shape; regionally important in Aragón.

Early bloom makes site selection critical.
