The medium- to large-sized, elongated fruits are of good quality. Those developing inside the canopy are deep yellow while those exposed to the sun are bright yellow with a dark red blush. The beak is only slightly visible.
The yellow flesh is of medium texture, fibreless, pleasantly sweet, juicy and of a mild aroma. The average fruit dimensions are: length 14.2 cm, width 6.6 cm and weight 435 g (range: 360-520 g). The rounded apex carries
only a small depressed beak. The seed is mono-embryonic. It is slightly affected by anthracnose and powdery mildew (Griesbach, 2003)
