Polinización

autoestéril (necesita una variedad polinizadora)

En tercios de mes (principio / mitad / final) para el hemisferio norte en clima templado; la altitud y el año los desplazan.

Fruto

Very juicy, fully melting, sweet and mildly tart, noble-aromatic and very palatable. Especially bruise-sensitive when ripe.

Crecimiento

Medium vigour; the branching makes it very well suited to espalier training. Fruit hangs wind-fast on the tree.

Rendimiento

Cropping starts early, from the 4th year, and later stays moderate and regular.

Observaciones

Very late winter dessert pear for warm, sheltered sites; not for wet or cold positions. The warmer, the better the fruit quality. Grown up to 400 m. Tree-ripe late Oct to early Nov, eating-ripe late Nov to Jan, keeps about 2 months in a natural store.

Cuidados

Train on a south-wall espalier. Harvest and handle ripe fruit carefully due to high bruise-sensitivity.
