About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A classic Californian dessert peach, prized for its intense aroma. The large, yellow-fleshed fruits with a strong red blush ripen in mid August and part cleanly from the stone. Self-fertile and heavy cropping, but like many older varieties susceptible to peach leaf curl, so give it a warm, well ventilated spot.
Full and sweet with a pronounced peach aroma and plenty of juice, a peach to enjoy straight from the hand.
