Narrative
Type = Apricot. Per "Exploration and Exploitation of New Fruit and Nut Germplasm," by Maxine Thompson: " 'Kachuli' was unique in that, although the fruit has relatively high soluble solids (22 degrees Brix), the flesh reaches a moderate degree of firmness but does not soften further with age. In fact, the local name actually means 'apricot that doesn't ripen'. It remided me of the non-ripening trait in our shipping tomatoes. locally, 'Kachachuli' is grown mainly for its large dible seed, but I envision this non-ripening trait incorporated, through breeding into larger, high quality cultivars with remarkable storage and shipping characteristics." Per the collection observation notes of Maxine Thompson: "Harvest date August 1; fruit 20g, 21mm long, 34-30mm wide, oblique-round-oblate, depressed apex, moderately attractive; skin orange, slight pubescence, slight blush; flesh orange, good eating quality, medium aroma, firm, juicy, intermediate texture; seed round, 2.4g, sweet; xanthomonas spots; used locally fresh and for seeds; does not soften - very firm - keeps well; tree age is about 100yrs; grown for the good, large, sweet seed; seed is free at maturity - just tight fit in the firm flesh."
