The variety is a family heirloom cultivated by the Cherokee tribe in the 19th century in the Appalachian region. The ripening period is 90–100 days; the plant forms vigorous vines 3–4 meters long and requires significant space.
Fruits have smooth skin, pinkish-salmon or yellowish-brown in color, sometimes with a bluish-green tint at the tip. The dense bright-orange flesh has a creamy texture and a sweet nutty flavor, which intensifies during storage, lasting up to 6 months.
