This open pollinated seedling of Mulgoba originated from Homestead (Florida) and was released in 1946.
It is one of the latest maturing of all the recommended cultivars. It has an exceptional keeping quality and may be left on the trees long after the normal harvesting time (March–April). The fruit is large with an average length of 11.7 cm and a width of 9.2 cm; it has an average weight of 456 g. It has a greenish-yellow colour with pink or red blush and lavender bloom the delicate waxy or powdery substance on the surface of berries. There are numerous white or yellow/red lenticels on the thick and fairly tough skin. The fruit shape is ovate and plump without a beak a pointed projection at the tip of a fruit; it has a rounded base. The flesh is deep yellow, fairly firm but tender, melting, juicy and with only a little fibre near the seed. The flavour is rich and sweet with a pleasant aroma and excellent quality. The fairly small seed (7.5% of fruit weight) is mono-embryonic mode of reproduction: contains only one embryo.
The tree is medium-sized, moderately vigorous, producing long arching branches and has a scraggy open appearance. It is a heavy and regular bearer.
