Notes and observations

RRK, 8/2006: Little information other than origin data is available for this variety. Australian colleagues P Barkley & M Smith have not heard of it.

JB: This was sent to us in the late 1990's from John Pressler in Emerald. Bruce McRae who was their horticulturist for many years and held these records, passed away a few years ago and John has not been able to find information on the parentage. The variety was a local selection from the Emerald area in Queensland, Australia. 2PH Farms didn't run with the variety because it had a problem with some cell breakdown in the skin at fruit maturity in the very hot Emerald climate. John said it was quite early and very good skin color.
