I picked up two of these on figbid for about $3.25 each, then a month or so later picked up a third for free at a scion exchange. And who knows, maybe it's all thanks to the initial hype created which got this variety so spread around there is now an abundance. I for one am grateful there is enough passion for fruit tree varieties that this even happens.

Hey Ross the last few tasting vids you released as "unlisted" so none of us received notification they exist

This is a winner variety in Florida. Split resistant, and you can get 2 main crops on it in a long season. Very productive too.

I have this - from a pretty cheap cutting last year - but didn't know about the history, interesting..

How does it compare to Col de dame blanc?

$1000!!! This is an example of unjustifiable and unfounded variety hype that some people create for their own material gain of or lets say greed. That is a sad story.
