A Henderson seedling tree was found in 1983 with flesh almost as red as Star Ruby; this was released as Flame in 1987. Flame trees grow vigorously to a large size and are reported to be more cold-tolerant than Star Ruby. The fruit has a smooth yellow rind and usually has a pink blush. The flesh is tender and juicy and has an internal color almost as dark as Star Ruby. Flame’s season is mid to late-season; the fruit holds well on the tree with some fading of the internal color when held past maturity.
