Description
Usually the first Peterson cultivar recommended to somebody planting their first pawpaws, on the strength of a mellow, sweet, custardy fruit rather than a peak-intensity one.
Pawpaw flavour runs strong and divides people. A mild cultivar is the safer choice when the fruit has to win over somebody who has never eaten one.
