Variety description

10 August 2026

Trees of the Spring Sunshine variety have medium to high vigor, an upright canopy, and are almost thornless. The plants are prone to alternate bearing and are self-compatible. The variety shows sensitivity to Alternaria, and the fruits are prone to splitting.

The fruits have a smooth, thin, reddish-orange rind that adheres tightly to the flesh but peels relatively easily. The flavor profile is characterized as sweet with a distinct acidity; the fruits contain plenty of juice and a small number of seeds. Harvesting is usually carried out from February to April.
