Orig. in Jackson Springs, N.C., by North Carolina Agr. Expt. Sta. Introd. in 1968. Raritan Rose x Redskin; cross made in 1955; first fruited in 1958; tested as NC 4639. Fruit: medium to large; round; skin attractive, one-half or more of surface covered with red blush overbright yellow ground color; flesh deep yellow to orange, firm, holding well after picking, texture fine-melting with very little fiber, more resistant to browning than Elberta, flavor good, freestone; ripens about same time as Redskin. Tree: vigorous; productive; flowers small, nonshowy, self-fertile; leaf glands reniform; chilling requirements and blooming time about same as Elberta; highly resistant to bacterial spot and rated better than Redskin.
