Crecimiento

Medium vigour; for garden and traditional orchard.

Rendimiento

Early-starting, high and regular yield; thinning advised with heavy set.

Observaciones

Dessert pear, but only in good years - variable fruit quality is the main drawback. Prefers very warm sites with fertile, moist soil, high heat need, up to 350 m. Pick late Oct to early Nov (fruit stays storm-firm until late harvest), eating-ripe Dec to Feb, keeps 2-3 months. Listed among recommended old orchard varieties in NRW.

Cuidados

Thin deliberately when heavily laden and pick as late as possible since long storm-firm. Store cool and bring to eating ripeness over winter.
