early maturity
Ahead of schedule
Early maturity describes the state of developing or ripening before the typical or expected time.
In agriculture and horticulture, it characterizes crops or varieties that reach harvest readiness ahead of schedule: We planted an early maturity corn to beat the frost.
Applied to people, it refers to children or adolescents who develop physical, emotional, or intellectual traits sooner than their peers.
In finance, early maturity describes bonds or other instruments that come due before their originally scheduled date, often through a call provision or buyback.
