Quite large, appetizing kakis in autumn, round, slightly flattened, orangey-red and shiny when ripe. Contrary to other more classic kakis, these can be eaten fresh and quite early in the season, due to the firmness and sweetness of the orange flesh, not too tart. Forms a lovely rounded and medium-sized tree with an attractive cracked bark.
