Overview
Yellow Perfection is a heirloom small slicer with round, golden-yellow fruit of 4 to 6 ounces that is sweet and low in acid. The skin is thin, which makes for pleasant eating but also means the fruit cracks readily after rain, so mulch, water evenly and pick as soon as it colors. Vines are indeterminate and ripen in the main season around 70 days.
