scions received 3/13/08 from private collection
of W. N. Irwin in Eckington

Characterization: Large for a crab - about 2" in diameter;
roundish or slightly elongated, somewhat truncate
somewhat suggesting Graves Golden in form.
Skin color greenish; dots numerous whitish
submerged, inconspicuous. Cavity varies from
medium in depth and width to medium depth
and abrupt, with tendency to furrows resulting from
development of slight knobs at rim of cavity representing
the segments of the fruit; stem varies from
½" to 1", slender.  Flesh whitish very firm and
hard, fine grain. Tremendously acid and
exceedingly astringent.
