Additional Notes
No detailed tree characteristics, origin history, or cultural uses are recorded in this 1900 description. The designation of flavor as "peculiar" suggests a distinctive taste profile distinct from common contemporaneous varieties, though the specific nature is not elaborated. Further historical sources would be needed to establish the variety's origin, geographic distribution, or relative importance in commercial cultivation.
