The fruits are medium large in size, round and flat in shape. The skin is yellowy green, flushed with orange/ orange-red, which has many fine patches of russet and freckles on top. The skin inside is creamy white, with a complexity of flavours- sweet and somewhat orange -like, also rather nutty. If cooked, the slices keep their shape.To guarantee cross pollination plant in a sunny, open site with another tree from the same flowering group (e.g. ‘Pixie’)
