- Self Fertile.
- St Julien A rootstock.

The white skin of this variety takes on a delicate red flush as it ripens.
Being a 'free stone' variety the white flesh comes away easily from the stone making it a useful variety for cooking - as 'peach halves' are easily achieved. The flesh has a pleasantly firm (but not hard) texture and a really rich flavour.
Heavy cropping, this variety has the added benefit of being extremely resistant to Peach Leaf Curl making it something you will rarely have a problem with.
- Season of use late August.
- Self Fertile.
- Grown on St Julien A rootstock for an ultimate height of 12 - 15 feet (3.65 - 4.6 metres) but can easily be kept at a height of 6 - 8 feet (1.8 - 2.4 metres).
