- Taste

- Ripens
- Fall. It is one of the varieties neighbors trade in October and November.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- Handles a normal Naples winter once established. Young trees still need a frost cloth in a hard front.
- Size
- Vigorous, 25 to 35 feet. Easy to keep lower with a yearly cut after harvest.
- Tips
- Plant high. Choquette hates wet feet more than it hates missing a meal of fertilizer.
