Large, heavily pleated, pyramid shaped, pink fruits are blemish-free, and produced in abundance, on large vines which are both disease and drought resistant. Fruits average 8 - 16 ounces.
Interior flesh cavity is partially hollow, with seeds and gel held mostly in the top half of the fruit making it perfect for stuffing. The flavor is sweet and somewhat fruity.
