Fruits ripen in early to mid August. Fruit weight is 230 g and the soluble solids concentration is 12.9°Brix. Fruit are attractively colored with a light red blush that covers more than 60% of the skin surface. Flesh color is creamy white and firmness is soft and of the melting type. Since its anthers have little pollen, pollinizers should be co-planted to facilitate insect pollination.
