unpleasant aftertaste are desired.
|
Appearance |
Skin relatively free from blemishes; fruit uniformly shaped. |
Quality After Storage |
Two to three weeks of refrigerated storage should not greatly reduce eating quality. |

in the northern U.S., while earlier ripening does not take full advantage of the growing
season.
