Fruit harvest

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Large oval fruit with bright red-flushed yellow skin and juicy sweet yellow flesh; stone parts cleanly.

Medium vigour, very adaptable and reliable, good winter hardiness.

High, regular yields; prone to branch breakage when overloaded – thin fruit.

Self-fertile and a good pollinator; susceptible to sharka and brown rot.
