Vigorous bushes produce prolific yields of delicious pale green, tender skinnned fruits with a firm textured flesh and small blossom scar. Tender inside and out! Best harvested at 3-4" diameter. Good keeper. Old time favorite for home gardeners. Great seller at fresh markets.
Pollination occurs by insect, bird, wind, humans, or other natural mechanisms. Because there are no restrictions on the flow of pollen between individuals, open-pollinated plants are more genetically diverse. However, as long as pollen is not shared between different varieties within the same species, then the seed produced will remain true-to-type year after year.
This variety has a history of being passed down within a family or community, similar to the generational sharing of certain items like jewelry or furniture.
