AGRAFENA

This is the name I am attaching to some F-3 seed of the cross of Grushovka X (Green Zebra x F-1 Sun Gold).

The fruit is striking...1 1/2 inches wide and 4 1/2 inches long. Pink and yellow stripes in a vivid zig-zag pattern. It has red flesh and not a bad flavor at all. Productive and early. I forgot to write down the plant habit. I debated about what to name this clone. Grushovka was my launching name. Grushov, Grusha, and then I found out that Grusha is a nickname for Agrafena.

GRUSHA Gender: Feminine Usage: Russian Other Scripts: Груша (Russian) Diminutive of AGRAFENA

Tatiana's note: 'Grusha' also means 'pear' in Russian.
