It is late fruiting and produces medium-sized fruits (mean 92.3 × 80.4 mm) with an ovate shape. The skin develops high levels of anthocyanin where sun-exposed, flesh very firm when ripe, texture smooth with low fibre, flesh colour orange. Fruiting characteristic is bunch-bearing while the seed is small and monoembryonic.
