CULTIVAR PROFILE

Cogshall

Pine Island, Lee County, Florida. A grafted Cogshall tree entered the University of Florida research collection in Homestead in 1950.

Flavor profile: Sweet, mild. The South Florida reference harvest window is June-July. Low to moderate vigor; easier to maintain at a small size with annual pruning than a high-vigor tree. Florida researchers described a rounded crown.
