Large size, oval shape fruit. A clear, greenish-yellow skin and yellow flesh. Considered a medium cropper, however you will be rewarded if you choose the best location for planting, as this will improve crop yields considerably. A freestone variety.
 
Uses: Excellent when eaten fresh. Also great for cooking, preserves, jam and drying.
