The first large-fruited, early and robust dessert pear for garden and orchard, even on light soils. Prefers warmer, moister soils, can be grown in low-mountain areas, no special heat requirement. Harvest 5 to 8 days before tree ripeness in early August, ready to eat August to early September, keeps only about 2 weeks.
