Description
Limited to just 24 fresh seeds – straight from my garden in Junín, Argentina. Ships from our U.S. partner for fast delivery to the USA & Worldwide
Why this cultivar is special
-
Huge fruit – up to 3 cm diameter, almost double the usual size.
-
Deep red-maroon skin when fully ripe.
-
Bold, tangerine-like flavour: bright citrus notes, pleasantly strong.
-
Lots of flesh – thick walls mean plenty of pulp for juice, jam, sorbet, or fresh eating.
-
Vigorous, glossy tree with broader leaves than standard lines; handsome as an ornamental hedge or standalone fruit tree.
