Owner's comments
Only partially russeted in my climate. Predominantly smooth yellow-orange skin with russeting only on the top of the fruit, plus occasional small russet dots and occasional russet patches on the sides. Upright growth. Good resistance to pests. Good resistance to diseases.Season records for this tree
