| Medium to large, conical fruit. Size medium, round conical slightly ribbed shape. Almost solid crimson over yellow. Savoury, juicy yellowish flesh. Crisp yet melting. Strong acidity which can be overpowering early in its season. Acidity mellows and flesh becomes soft and marrowy, yet flavor does not fade. Cooks well, keeps shape, remains a valued garden variety. Excellent flavor. Tree moderately vigorous, hardy and spreading. Excellent cropper. Fruits bruise easily and can drop prematurely. |
