Distinctly sweet and of very good quality, but not a very good keeper. Skin tender, clear bright yellow largely covered with deep red. Flesh tinged with yellow, firm, moderately juicy, decidedly sweet.

Visitor reviews
- 18 Dec 2017 OREGON, United StatesI have a tree of this variety. Planted by my Grandparents in 1846 or 1947. Very heavy producer every year. Sweatness only after the first frost of the year, October or November harvest. Great for pie or crisp making.
