The medium to large round fruit have yellow and mostly red blushed skin and yellow firm flesh (softens when fully ripe) with freestone. Flavour is sweet and aromatic and the fruit stores well. Spring blossom. Released in the USA in 2001. Great for growing in narrow places for example along paths, and in tubs on verandahs and balconies with plenty of sun.
