Gute Graue

Goût

Sensibilité et résistance

Pollinisation

autostérile (a besoin d'une variété pollinisatrice)

En tiers de mois (début / milieu / fin) pour l'hémisphère nord en climat tempéré ; l'altitude et l'année les décalent.

Fruit

Juicy and melting, richly balanced sweet-tart with a fine noble aroma. A refined summer dessert pear.

Croissance

Very vigorous, bushy growth; the trees become very old. Without fruit thinning the bushy habit tends to produce small fruit.

Rendement

Cropping starts late, usually not before the 10th year. Then a heavy bearer at a high level; over-heavy set brings a tendency to alternate bearing.

Remarques

For larger gardens (including higher elevations) and orchard meadows. Versatile, thrives on almost any non-dry site; recommended up to over 350 m. Tree-ripe early September, eating-ripe early to mid September. On the NRW list of recommended old orchard varieties.

Entretien

Thin the fruit to avoid small fruit and alternate bearing. Remove affected fruit under persistent brown-rot pressure.
