History / Story<span class="pdb-inline-current-value">George Brown aka Musk Rainbow, Dwarf George Brown. Very rich crimson, purplish red. Unique among 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. If you like Penang Peach, you will love Musk Rainbow even more. 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. ^Color: Crimson, Purplish Red ^3" ^Blooming: Great bloomer ^Growth: Compact to Short ^Scent: Fruitiness ^AKAs: Dwarf George Brown, Musk Rainbow ^Notes: Dark musk intensely colored, highly perfumed very unusual.
