Description
Fruit
Half-melting, juicy, sweet with a fine acidity and a strong, variety-typical aroma.
Growth
Suited to garden and orchard; thrives particularly on warm soils.
Yield
Comes into bearing early to mid-early and stays high and regular thereafter.
Notes
Robust, recommendable autumn dessert pear for the home garden. High resistance to frost and scab. Slightly higher heat need, grows up to low mountain sites (350 m). Pick about five days before tree ripeness (mid-Sep to early-Oct); keeps only about two weeks, open storage advised.
Care
Pick roughly five days before tree ripeness while fruit is still storm-firm. Choose a warm site and use up promptly.
