Seedling # 2

This fruit taste good (for the most part), but the tree is unproductive and the fruit has bitterness under the skin and intrusive fibers.

The fruit illustrated above fell naturally from the tree on the 3rd of December 2019. It was ripe on the 8th. So roughly a week to ripen.

This fruit is nearly as good as Hass at this time of year (early Summer), but is in a different flavor class. It has a “nice” flavor, creamy tasting, oil is there but it doesn’t “taste” oily. There is no ‘nutty’ note, unlike Hass. It has a lingering creamy taste in the mouth after eating. The flesh just under the skin is distinctly bitter. This flesh has to be removed for a pleasant eating experience.

This alone disqualifies it from further interest.

The flesh is pale in color, firm, smooth, and the leathery skin peels easily.

It has relatively few fibers, but they are long and unacceptably intrusive.

This fruit is 220 grams. The seed size I rate about medium.

Its parentage is unknown.

The tree is upright, with deep green foliage.

It has no flowers at all this year, and will probably be top-worked.
