History
The original tree was grown on the grove of Frank Adams in Pine Island, Florida.[1] For decades the parentage of the tree was unknown but a pedigree analysis indicated that Haden was the likely parent.[2] Scions were sent to the Sub-Tropical Research Station near Miami, Florida, and a grafted tree was planted there in 1942. A distinctive characteristic of the tree was its early fruiting season, which began in May.
Description
The fruit is oblong, averaging less than a pound in weight and having a small lateral beak. The flesh is dark yellow and fiberless, and is sweet and aromatic. Ripens from May to June.
The tree is a moderately vigorous grower.
