Description
Fruit
Medium nuts with a thicker shell and round, cream-coloured kernel; kernel recovery moderate (approx. 33-38%).
Growth
Vigorous, upright to spreading tree with striking pink-red flower racemes.
Yield
Very early and heavy bearing, well adapted to cooler subtropical sites.
Notes
Nuts do not drop naturally and must be hand-picked; often not self-fertile - a pollenizer is recommended.
