Detailed Variety Characteristics
Howard is one of the top commercial varieties bred by the University of California. It shares Chandler's high lateral bearing and kernel quality but has a smaller tree frame and ripens about 2 weeks earlier. This allows growers to spread the harvest window across multiple weeks when planted together with Chandler.
