It has very few seeds – the ratio is less than Shenandoah. Tallahatchie tends to bear large clusters – impressive to see – though it may require thinning. Yields are medium-high. Ripens mid-season to late. In Maryland mid-to late September. Fruit averages 240 gm, (9 oz) with very few seeds (seed to fruit ratio is 5%). Large clusters need thinning, great for ice cream.; Phyllosticta resistance: , Fruit Shape: plump, Freestone: no, Seediness: low/medium 5%, Self-fruitful: no, Prizes:
