From Hollar, which offers this description: ". Highly productive, Frisco F1 matures in approximately 90 days in Rocky Ford, Colorado. It has a thicker and longer neck than our popular variety Avalon, approximately 20% larger (4.5-5.5 lbs, 8 x 3.5 in). The uniformly shaped fruit have a strong attractive tan rind with shallow sutures. The flesh is a bright orange, high in dry matter and sweet. "
