Nutmeg

A staff favorite for taste in 2013! Round, medium-small, heavily netted fruit. Moderately ribbed. Green while immature, becoming pale yellow-orange at maturity. Fruit easily abscises from vine when ripe. Pale green flesh with a very thin rind. Placenta develops orange hue when very ripe. Market mature fruit measure 3-4.3" long by 3-4.1" wide and weigh 10-19oz. Excellent, complex flavor. Spicy flavor resembles nutmeg. Very sweet and juicy. Floral aftertaste. Mid-season maturing. Average productivity when grown in 2013 at Heritage Farm. SSE Accession # 112983
