Small creamy-white flowers bloom in spring and give way to fruit that ripens from mid to late fall, extending the tree's ornamental and edible interest into the cooler months.

Its low chilling requirement of approximately 150–250 hours makes it particularly well suited to mild-winter climates, while its improved disease resistance and self-pollinating habit make it a dependable choice for home fruit production.
