Very good quality. Juicy and somewhat tart. Mild to slightly tart flavor. Yellow skin with occasional blush. Firm and keeps well.
Skin color develops early.
Very susceptible to leaf scald. Average date at Byron, Georgia. Before planting, prepare the soil thoroughly by plowing or spading followed by disking or raking to smooth the surface. If you have not adjusted the soil pH to 6.5 previously, liming should be done before you prepare the soil so that the lime will be mixed throughout the planting area. During planting, dig holes large enough to receive the roots freely without cramping or bending from their natural position.
