What Should Be Considered As Good |

| Fruit Size |
10 ounces (284 g) or more |
| Seediness |
Seeds the size of a nickel (19 mm dia.) and less than 12 per fruit |
| Flavor & Quality of Flesh |
This is a very subjective trait, but typically mild, sweet, smooth texture and no
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. |
| Time of Ripening |
Fruit should ripen between mid-September and mid-October. Later ripening limits usefulness
in the northern U.S., while earlier ripening does not take full advantage of the growing
season.
|
| Winter Hardiness |
Plant should overwinter in zone 5. |
