Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large, deep-red, exotic, fruits are delicious and thin-skinned, just like 'Wonderful', but ripen a full two weeks earlier, a perfect variety to extend the season; gorgeous bright-orange ruffled flowers are highly ornamental as are the fruits, dark-green thin leaves on a 8-10' fountain shaped plant make a great specimen, plant against a south wall if you have cooler summers, self-fertile and requires 200 chill hours.
