Is a mid-to-late season pawpaw tree that exhibits gigantism in the leaves and fruits like a polyploid. Seeds are scalloped and feathery with no sack and they appear to be sterile. The seed ratio is 3.5% by weight. The variety produces fruits averaging around 360 grams that appear to be like a Lehman variety. The largest fruits are 700-800 grams. The flavor is very good and similar to Sunflower. The texture is firm. Fruits can be picked several days before ripe and continue to ripen up – unlike most other pawpaw fruits. The fruits keep well without refrigeration, and they clean easily – to yield a lot of pulp in a short time. Most of the fruits will ripen in Sparta, NC at 3,000 ft elevation with limited heat units. The late fruit can be picked before the first freeze and allowed to finish ripening indoors.
