Accession: 55
Seed Source: Obtained from Seedy Saturday, Nelson, BC (2009).
Comments:
2019 Absolutely awesome production in a very, very bad year! So much fruit, it actually toppled the plant even though it was staked and secured. I wasn't too impressed when I first grew it in Victoria, but here in the prairies it is absolutely stellar. 2011 Very thick-walled, moderate to good flavour. Dryer inside than I expected. Less productive than 'Gregori's Altai'.
