from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds
"Banana-shaped fruit, smooth yellow skin and sweet, spicy salmon flesh. 16”-24" long, 5-8 lbs. It was listed in 1885 by J. H. Gregory’s Catalogue, which said 'When ripe it reminds one of a large, overgrown banana... It smells like one, having a remarkably powerful and delicious fragrance.'" (90 days)
