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

Small, dark kernel, hard shell offering good pest protection.

Late-flowering, self-sterile, vigorous growth.

Reliable yields; classically combined with Butte.

Hard shell reduces navel orangeworm damage.
