Cultivation

Grown in the same zone as Perolera, and in the western Colombian Andes (Valle del Cauca), under better technical conditions. Origin: possibly a sport from Perolera, the main difference being more regular fruit shape and color. Tree: similar adaptation to highland conditions, similar lodging in hot lowlands, as Perolera; susceptible to the nematode Pratylenchus neglectus; tolerant to root knot nematode; resistant to fusariosis. Fruit: medium, smaller than Perolera; uniformly dark to bright red in tropical highlands; globular to shouldered-cylindrical; large, flat fruitlets; flesh pale yellow, firm, retains its juice, allowing street sale of slices; SS 12%; very slightly acidic; no or very little maturity/sweetness gradient; multiple crowns and basal slips common.
