generally throughout the South. Delicious fruit, frequently 3 inches in diameter. Large,

Time required for trees and plants to begin fruiting after being transplanted may vary considerably, depending somewhat on the age and size of plant 
at time of transplanting, as well as the nature of the soil, care given, the season, and many other conditions. Even some varieties of a class will begin 
fruiting earlier than others. So the above table gives only approximate bearing ages under normal conditions.
