From Harvey (Figaholics): September 21, 2017

Our Col de Dame Blanc tree is not vigorous but puts out a lot of fruit and we've been picking fruit for quite some time this year, maybe since early August. I've posted photos of this in prior years so just haven't taken the time to post this year until now. This was maybe the largest I've picked so far this year at 52 grams. As always, it has a strong berry flavor, moderate sweetness and acidity, dense texture, and moderate seed crunch. Very productive tree for its size.
