Deep-orange-fleshed variety. Origin: Queensland, Australia. Tree: vigorous, with a distinctive rounded, dark green leaf and a dense, spreading canopy easily maintained at a height and spread of 2-2.5 m. Yields can be maintained at 60-80 kg/year; fruit should be thinned to 20-25 per tree to avoid tree damage from over-production. Fruit: Fruit is small (average weight 3.2 kg), green and rounded, with sharp, fleshy spines on the skin that flatten and change to golden yellow upon ripening. Seeds average 79 per fruit, constituting 13% of the total fruit weight. The deep orange pulp is soft to medium-firm depending upon ripeness, and of an excellent flavor with no fiber. Fruit of this cultivar often split on the tree when exposed to heavy rains.
