It blooms at the same time as Patten and Parker, two to four days earlier than Luscious.

An early variety – harvest in mid-August..

Zone 4-8. Fruit is medium size, yellow in color with white, juicy flesh. Ripens in late August. A good selection for canning or eating fresh. Tree is upright and vigorous, Fireblight resistant.
