Cultivation

Origin: at the Turner & Growers Mangere Res. Sta. near Auckland, New Zealand, by I.K. Lewis and M.W. Hall. Fem seedling × Douglas; cross made in 1984; selected in 1985; tested as 84-1-38 and later as T-30; introd. in 1993. Flower: self-fertile, with ample pollen production throughout the season and, consequently, little chance of malformed fruit. Tree: strongly day-neutral, similar to Hecker and Brighton; low chilling requirement; thick peduncles remain semi-erect until fruit ripens; runner production less than Selva. Fruit: size similar to Tioga but varies as the season advances; very firm; glossy; external color slightly darker than Tioga, internal color similar with lighter ring around the core; medium cordate; solid to slightly hollow; achenes bright yellow, position slightly raised above surface; good flavor; late and offseason production for fresh-market use.
