Notes: Discovered 1998. Original tree found growing in the wild near the Green River in Hart County, Kentucky, selected by Carol Friedman in 1998 „for large and luscious fruits,“ reports Nolin River Nut Tree Nursery. „I think of it has having a very bright flavor, and I know from several locals that this one is the hands-down favorite,“ says Derek Morris. „Fruits are almost identical to PA-Golden in size and shape though not quite as productive. Unfortunately, not very large-fruited, rather seedy, and fruits do not keep for long before losing quality.“ Ronpowell reports little to no Phyllosticta. „My favorite because of its firmer texture,“ he says. „Some have reported a cinnamon aftertaste.“ Like PA Golden.; Phyllosticta resistance: resistant, Fruit Shape: , Freestone: no, Seediness: high, Self-fruitful: no, Prizes:
