Anecdotal Notes
Diana

Very rich crimson, purplish red. Unique amongst the fruit salad /tri color types. Excellent, most intoxicating fragrance - strawberries, raspberries and coconut suntan lotion perfume, very beautiful. Compact growth, wide growing but 5’ tall medium tree. Recommended as the best and most attractive cultivar from Australia. Very attractive 3” overlapped orange and pink with a shadow of purple color. Heavy branching and short growing plant. Dark musk intensely colored, highly perfumed very unusual. Branches are inclined to droop. The maroon color fades to a definite purple and the orange to a lovely golden-brown. Can get purple tint to edges. The fragrance is nice and sweet with hints of fruitiness-- some say the fruit is strawberry. Cold tolerant. Not Cold tolerant. Seedling of Penang Peach. Heavy bloomer. Long time to get blooms. Purple comes out quite strongly in the fading process. The same flower, one day later, exhibited very strong pure purple edges. The edges, depending on heat, a definite purple. Gets rust. Colors fade as the flower matures. Fading includes gray and blue hues. Freshly open flower has brilliant burgundy and almost yellowish brown. Hard to root. Should be grafted. Doesn't need heat to produce good color. Slow to produce large numbers of flowers, but, when it finally does, the waiting is worth it. Leaves tend to be rippled and attract mites that can deform them. Growth habit is pretty compact and branches do not get very thick. When it was small I got one inflo on average a year. Needs maturity to bloom properly. Easy to root. Very good peachy-fruity fragrance. Thick textured petals. Blooms last well after picked. Compact growth. Easy to graft. Tall. Tends to nub. Sets seed.
