Read detailed description :

Lovely red autumn leaf colours at the same time as the ripening Kakis. Very resistant to cold temperatures. Large round fruit, with a light vanilla perfume. They are yellow, then orange when ripe. Contrary to other Kakis, the fruit can be eaten fresh and quite early in the season, as the flesh is sweet and juicy, not too bitter. Forms a lovely medium-sized tree, with an attractive cracked bark. Prefers a deep, rich and well drained soil, fresh and slightly acid to neutral. Plant in a sheltered and sunny area.
