Tomcot
U.S. Plant Patent No. 7034
An introduction from the Irrigated Research and Extension Center at Prosser, WA. TomcotTM ripens about 2 1/2 weeks ahead of Wenatchee Moorpark. The skin color is light orange with traces of blush on exposed cheeks. The flesh is light orange and moderately juicy. The tree is vigorous and is probably somewhat self-fertile, but at this time we suggest cross pollination with another variety.
