III. Sweet Taste. The texture is fine and soft, the flesh is purely sweet, with a strong fruity aroma, and is easy to pulp. It has a soluble solid content of 13%, indicating top quality, and is seedless or has few seeds.

IV. Long Market Availability. By November, the fruit is free of acidity and can be marketed in the latter part of the month.
