They don't last much beyond mid February. If you do find
some, they are lieky to be either dried out inside or
mushy. Their season is shorter than navels, unfortunately,
but it has lengthened a bit (Nov-Feb)since they are now being
shipped from California as well as Spain. The first year
I ever saw them in the stores, theyw ere there for about 2
weeks before Christmas, then disappeared.
