Considered by some to belong to a different species than other canistel cultivars. Origin: Costa Rica. Tree: slower-growing than other canistels and requires one light pruning per year to maintain a height of 3.5 m and a spread of 2 m. It is often sparsely foliated, leading to fruit sunburning. Production is medium to heavy and concentrated in the fall and winter months. Fruit: size is highly variable (average weight 121 g, range 75-160) and flesh is moist and sweet. Average number of seed per fruit is 1.6 (range 1-3), average seed weight is 3.5 g and fruit/seed ratio is 21.6.
