Otea
NOTESThe pale yellow, creamy flesh is solid and dense and has a firm, yet tender, texture when cooked. This tree is generally more compact than other Polynesian varieties, but tends to produce more prolifically. Otea has a good potential for commercial production of chips and other products. |
