  • In the third generation pollen from a seedling selection of progeny was used for hybridization on L8ll2 an unpatented breeding line (Southland Hawaiian F-2) obtained from the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station. This hybrid fruited in 1963 and trees were budded from it. The fruit and tree characteristics proved to be identical to that of the hybrid tree which fruited in 1963.

  • FRUIT Ripening period Early, ripens in about 97 days from date of'bloom, picking date about May 7-12 in central Florida.
  • Stem Short length A to 7 inch, diameter inch.
  • C0l0r.-Near moderate orange yellow (Plate 10YR 8/ 10) very little red near pit, flecks of red halfway between pit and outer surface at shipping stage, at ripe stage these flecks of red become very pronounced and change to solid streaks of red.
