A classic, late-ripening variety with a sweet flavor profile. Its elongated, freestone fruit is known for being a heavy producer. Enjoy it at its peak, as it can develop a minor bitterness if allowed to become over-ripe. This variety was grown from a seed sourced from a local farmer’s market in Western North Carolina.
