Tree: day-neutral type producing fruit over an extended period in arid, subtropical climate; production pattern similar to Selva, produces less late-season fruit but is higher yielding than Selva, higher yielding and similar late-season production to Seascape; compact plant with a growth habit similar to Seascape. Moderately susceptible to common leaf spot verticillium wilt, anthracnose crown rot and powdery mildew; moderate tolerance to twospotted mite (better than Selva or Seascape); tolerant to viruses occurring in California. Fruit: much larger than Seascape and Selva, firmer than Seascape; fruit shape is a short symmetric conic; percent cull fruit lower than Selva or Seascape; external and internal color darker than Selva and lighter than Seascape, very glossy fruit; achenes red to dark red, even with the fruit or slightly extruded; good flavor; fresh-market, processing, and home-garden uses.
