More Info: Yet Another Haden seedling selected and named in Florida in 1941. The flesh is sweet, aromatic, and firm. The tree is a vigorous large grower, making it an excellent shade tree complemented by an exceptionally attractive fruit. It has one of the finest flavors of all of the late season varieties and it never disappoints.
