It was named in memory of a member of an Australian growers' community.
Character
- Skin
- Reportedly vivid green with a finish.
- Ribs
- Reportedly, the apex forms geometric patterns of deep notches and sharply angled rib valleys.
- Spines
- Reportedly very short or missing altogether, set in tiny recessed .
- Notes
- Not a beginner's clone, and it can be finicky. It has a reputation for melting or developing cosmetic damage if conditions aren't right. It is reportedly slow and is often grafted to speed it up, needs strong sun in cool climates to express its shape, and is easily marked by fungal or problems in damp conditions.
