Superspur
Notes:
The light yellowish-red fruits average 0.7 inch in diameter and
have soft, yellow flesh. Blooms in late February and early March and
ripens in late April and early May. Highly rated for yield and tree form.
Early bloom is a problem, as is inadequate chilling in warmer areas
and during mild winters. Fruits fall prematurely (shatter) when ripe.
