| Description |
Originated in Winters, California, by Claron O. Hesse, California Agr. Expt. Sta., Davis, And Agr. Res. Serv., USDA. Introduced in 1954. Fruit: large; somewhat heart-shaped, tendency to have a slightly irregular surface; skin develops a full deep mahogany before shipping maturity. Flesh is light amber in color, no red nest to skin, firm, sweet, texture and quality very good, aroma not pronounced; hold in storage for rather long periods of time; ships very well; ripens late, about with President. Trees are somewhat weak but better than Gaviota, appearing to be more vigorous an established peach or budded on Marianna 2624 rootstocks than when top worked to establish Santa Rosa and Duarte trees. Susceptible to internal browning. A good backyard cultivar. |
