Produces large, creamy white freestone fruit with a bright red cheek. The flesh is firm, white with a tinge of red, and highly flavored--ideal for eating, baking and canning. Ripens fruit typically in late August. Is self-fertile but provides a better crop when planted in multiples. Begins to bear large crops at ages 3–4 and reaches full potential at ages 8–12. Blooms in the spring, with a profusion of bright pink to brilliant red flowers.
