They are large, yellow orange in colour and have a firm scented flesh. They are ideal to eat straight away or to be used in tarts, jams or preserves. As with all trees from the prunus family, the leaves will start to appear autumnal and slightly shabby from mid July on wards. This is not a disease, but is mainly due to this years contrasting weather conditions and will not affect the performance of the tree.
