Flowering
Fruit harvest

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

Large, round fruit with extensive red blush; very juicy, aromatic yellow flesh, freestone.

Vigorous tree; the soft, aromatic fruit ships poorly and has largely left commercial trade.

Good yields; fruit has only a short shelf life at full ripeness.

Self-fertile; a cult classic for flavour quality, celebrated by David Mas Masumoto.
