Description
Delicious fruit with bronze skin and amber flesh arise all over this cold-tolerant tree! Fruits on new wood,
so even after a severe winter, the new branches will bear big loads of delectable fruit.
Plant in a sheltered spot in colder winter areas; plants may die to the ground and re-sprout from the roots.
