Narrative
According to Bono-Ubeda et al (p 25), trees of 'Hernandina' are vigorous and have good development. The size, form, juice content, and fruit quality are similar to 'Fina', but full color development is reached two months later. Seedless. Productive but with a slight tendency to alternate-bear. Should be cultivated in zones of late harvest with small risk of frost since it is not commercially interesting to offer this variety before the middle of February. Delay of harvest is not advisable since this can cause a small loss in the amount of juice and of acid, resulting in a diminuation of the normally excellent quality.

Additional information from Saunt (p 56) indicates that the delayed color development as compared to 'Fina' is particularly pronounced at the stylar end, which sometimes never completely colors. In contrast, internal maturity is reached in late November, only one or two weeks later than 'FIna'. Harvest normally startsin mid-January and can proceed until the end of February, at which time granulation develops and the tree is induced to alternate-bear. Saunt further states that 'Hernandina' is the most popular variety planted in Spain with about 8,000 ha producing about 100,000 tons. However, the market for 'Hernandina' is being challenged by extensive planting of 'Nour' in Morocco in recent years.

There is little information available on the potential perforamance of this selection in California. (RRK, 09/2007)
