Cultivation

Origin: in Cabazon, Calif., by B.A. Van Duine. Not introd.; included because it has been used as breeding stock and is one of the parents of Nugget. Bud mutation of Royal; discovered in 1934. Tree: very resistant to prolonged dormancy due to insufficient winter chilling; in southern Calif. it usually blooms and leafs out 2 to 3 weeks earlier than Royal; bears fruit only at tips of branches, making this variety of little value except for breeding purposes. Fruit: ripens 2 to 3 weeks earlier than Royal.
