Storage

Given in thirds of a month (early / mid / late) for the northern hemisphere in a temperate climate; altitude and season shift them.

Description

Fruit

Melting, juicy, sweet fruit with little acidity and weak spicing; not outstanding in flavour but a large, handsome pear.

Growth

Strong growth; in the garden only where there is enough room, otherwise mainly for orchards.

Yield

Regular and high.

Notes

One of the least demanding varieties, widely grown even in rough climates and up to 1000 m, with no special heat or soil needs; robust against disease. Late blossom, tree-ripe mid-September, ready to eat October, for immediate use.

Care

Low-maintenance. Plant in the garden only where there is enough room and use promptly, as it does not store.
