Although it is generally considered a spring and summer variety, the climatic extremes of the intermediate districts influence to some extent the time at which the fruit is produced. The peaks of pro- duction in the intermediate districts are from March to May and from October to December. In the coast areas, the peaks are from January to March and from June to September.
