A hardy hybrid variety known for its firm texture, mild flavor, and versatility in cooking and canning. The fruit is large with yellow skin often blushed with red and is best used when slightly underripe. It is self-fertile but produces more reliably with a pollination partner. Kieffer ripens in late summer to early fall and is appreciated for its long storage life. The tree requires about 350 to 400 chilling hours.
