Cultivation

Origin: in Felton, Del., by the late Joseph Killen. Considered to be an open-pollinated seedling of Early Golden; selected about 1915; first propagated in Round Hill, Va., by J. Russell Smith, who probably named it. Introd. about 1930. Tree: occasionally bears staminate-flowering branchlets; needs a 90-chromosome pollinator for reliable fruiting. Killen is a promising parent in breeding. Fruit: slightly larger, firmer and better flavored than Early Golden, which it resembles.
