Description
A San Pedro-type producing a heavy breba crop, though fruit frequently fails to ripen fully in the upper North Island. Main crop is very late and unreliable except in warm northern areas. Large oblique pyriform fruit with yellow-and-red-striped skin and honeyed red flesh. Better suited to the Auckland region. Considered synonymous with San Pedro No. 2 and Blekinja in some collections.
