They grow to a slender, column-like height of 8-10 feet tall, 2-3 feet wide, and are ready for picking in late September. The abundant crops of fruit are large, flavorful, with light-green fruit and crisp, bright-white flesh. They like half-day to full sun and well-drained, moderately fertile soil.
