The earliest variety we grow—ready to eat the last week of July in central Maine. Medium-small roundish crimson red fruit with white dots. Tart fresh eating. Crisp if you catch them just before they drop. Cooks into orange-pink thick creamy sauce in about six minutes.
Long ago popular throughout Maine. Bred by the eccentric genius Francis Peabody Sharp (1823-1903), the key figure in bringing fruit-growing to northern Maine. He bred and tested thousands of apples, plums and other fruits. Z3.
