Discovered as a chance seedling in the 1980s by Walter Zill in Boynton Beach, FL, Pickering is thought to be a cross between Carrie and Irwin. The variety was named in honor of Wayne Pickering, a longtime customer of Walter’s.
The fruit is medium-sized, oblong-oval, and turns light yellow at maturity with subtle pink blushes and splotching on the skin. The flesh is firm, yellow, and nearly fiberless. At peak ripeness, the flavor is intensely sweet with distinct coconut undertones, though it can taste mild if harvested too early. The seed is monoembryonic.
Pickering trees are naturally compact, dwarfing in habit, and easy to manage. They are precocious, flowering early, and exhibit strong resistance to anthracnose at flowering and fruit set, though post-harvest fruit can sometimes show blemishes. They also show good tolerance to powdery mildew, bacterial spot, and rot fungi, making them highly reliable even in challenging conditions.
This variety is ideal for dooryard planting and can even be grown in large containers. The fruit ripens early in the season, typically from June to July.
