| Description |
Very large fruit when trees are normally cropped and is oval with nearly equal halves. Dark reddish skin. Trees are upright growers and are extremely vigorous when young. They are capable of bearing heavy crops. Trees bloom about a day or two later than do French trees and are harvested about ten days later. The drying ratio approaches 4:1. Most profitable when used in specialty packs and fresh market shipments. |
