Fruits are variable in shape, but mostly slightly elongated globes with some slight ridges on the shoulder. Averaging 2 inches wide, and 3 ounces, alternating dark-green zebra-like striped skin will have a slight yellow-blush when ripe. Interior flesh is an emerald color and superbly tangy. Plants show some resistance to Septoria leaf spot. As with all GWR (Green When Ripe) fruits, it is best to pick fruits by feel, rather than by sight.
