An Arkansas variety of recent introduction with good size and form, but decidedly inferior to Baldwin in color and quality. The tree is vigorous, hardy, and known for productivity, though it requires a longer season than Baldwin for perfect development. It may prove profitable in regions where Ben Davis thrives, particularly valued for excellent keeping qualities.
