Note: This is a concise period description. No tree characteristics, detailed bark, foliage, or bearing habit are described in the Downing source. The variety appears to be known primarily by its fruit attributes. The "sprightly subacid" flavor (lively, tart-refreshing) is the key organoleptic marker for field identification.
