Fruit
The fruit is of good size than Fino, with a big nipple in the apical region and a neck in the stem area. It has few seeds. The higher the temperature at flowering, presents greater number of seeds. Oval. The bark is somewhat rough and thick, and the pulp has very good juice content.

In August-September flowering occurs another whose fruits are called rodrejos or verdelli and are more rounded and smooth and thin crust that harvest; harvesting takes place in the summer of next year.
