The cultivar Parvin originated in the 1940s at Bradenton, Florida as a seedling of cv. Haden. It first attracted attention because of its attractive colour, firm fresh flesh, and relative freedom from anthracnose disease. The fruit is ovoid with a smooth, regular surface. Fruit weight is 450-690 g, with an average weight of about 560 g. The pulp is dark yellow and firm, with a mild, sweet and pleasant flavour. The fruit is resistant to handling damage, with an unusually long postharvest life. A few commercial growers in Florida planted Parvin in the 1950s, but the cultivar never became popular in this state. An important defect is the tendency to produce seedless fruits. The fruit also develops internal breakdown at maturity in some years. Parvin was introduced to Puerto Rico long ago and is well regarded there. This cultivar appears to respond well to the initiation of off-season flowers by chemical treatment in tropical climates, suggesting possibilities for fruit production outside the normal season.
