YN mLC -70 Reference.  Commercial blocks - no sample.      
65P183 YN mLC -70 Baby tree with large fruit that is firm, very good in flavor, good in shape, and full red. 2 5/8" 67 14
2014 2C88 WP LC -70 Outstanding crop, size, shape, and color on a very small tree.  Very good sub-acid flavor.  The shape is round and slightly flat with no tips, noses, or splits observed - but the fruit softened very quickly this season contrary to last year's fantastic firmness.  We must evaluate again in future seasons. 3" 76 14.5

Pearlicious I
WN mLC -68 Good crop, firm, very nice color, good sub-acid flavor, a few freckles on the apex.  A few of the smaller fruits on the tree appear to stem push and soften, but not the larger fruit. 2 3/4" 70 16
2014 6G766 YP NM mLC -68 Last year's newest non-melting champion, but this year there is about 40% split pits - which could be from the severe stress we impacted upon the tree to cut all the budwood we could get.  It is still extremely firm, round and flat in shape, great color, and medium crop.  We must wait and watch. 3" 76 13
