Observaciones

Only a dessert pear in good years, otherwise for preserving or hard-ripe juice. Very old variety (first mentioned 1588), now rare, on the NRW list of proposed old orchard varieties. No special warmth needs, tolerates drier soils; grows in mountain sites above 400 m. Pick mid September to early October, ready to use November, keeps about 2 months. Generally disease-resistant.

Cuidados

Undemanding orchard variety; thin the tall-trunk crown regularly, otherwise little care needed.
