For growing in pots
Fruit moderately small, globose to slightly oblate; sometimes with a radially low neck and weak areolar ring; very few to no glitches. Well colored when ripe. Thin, smooth peel, finely pitted on the surface. Well colored flesh; tender, juicy, acid-free; mild flavor. One of the first to ripen. A moderately vigorous tree of medium to large size, productive and more cold tolerant than most.
In semi-tropical climates characterized by high heat and humidity, this variety produces fruits of satisfactory size for fresh marketing, although eating quality is generally somewhat average. In arid and subtropical climates, fruit size is usually smaller than desirable, although quality may be satisfactory.
Height at maturity: 6-7 feet
Harvest: October to January.
Self-fertile
Instructions for growing in pots:
Leave the plant outside between May and October but bring it inside between October and the end of April, until the spring frosts are over. Place in a warm place on your land protected from the winds and place in full sun. Enlarge the pot every 2 years as needed depending on growth and add fertilizer of your choice as needed. Can easily withstand a semi-dormant winter period in a cool place between 8° and 14°C... Ex: semi-heated garage. Finally...Remember to acclimatize your plant to the sun in spring by not placing it directly in full sun for the first few days but going there gradually otherwise the leaves will burn in the sun in a few days.
