Dark green, deeply furrowed/wrinkled, ovate fruit. Fruit remain dark green at maturity. Thick rind tends to develops some scarring. Fruit does not abscise from vine at maturity. Somewhat difficult to judge stage of maturity, as fruit does not undergo color change, develop external aroma, or soften. Mature fruit reach 5-7" long by 4-7" wide and weigh 2-4 lbs. Pale green flesh has a light orange hue near the placenta. Good flavor. Mild, delicate and slightly sweet. Thick flesh is firm with a smooth texture. Late maturing when grown in 2013 at Heritage Farm. Donated to SSE in the early 1980s by Ed Robinson (AR RO E) of Howard County, AR. This is a variety which Robinson had purchased some years before and had initially been unhappy with the general appearance of the fruits, but as Robinson stated to SSE, "Once I tasted it all others were forgotten."
