The cultivar has limited to no commercial plantings but is sold as nursery stock for home use in Florida.

Dot was originally developed by nurseryman Laurence Zill of Boynton Beach, Florida, and was named after his wife Dorothy.

[1] Dot was propagated for several years by the Zill nursery but fell out of favor due to disease susceptibility and lack of ideal color.

However, Frank Smathers of Miami, Florida received several cuttings of the Dot and took up propagating the tree, finding the eating quality of the fruit to be very high.

The fruit average slightly less than a pound at maturity, developing yellow skin often containing pinkish blush.
