Taste, season, cold, and how to plant this one.
- Taste

- Ripens
- Late spring, sometimes a step ahead of Brewster.
- Zones
- Zones 10 to 11.
- Hardiness
- A touch more tolerant of a cool winter, which is what you want. Hard frost on new growth is still damage.
- Size
- A large tree in time. We have 7-gallon and 5-gallon pots. Neither ships — only 3-gallon trees go by parcel.
- Tips
- Pick a spot with air and sun, not under eaves that drip on the canopy all winter.
- Pollination
- Self-fruitful.
