Description
Fruit
Very juicy, semi-melting, moderately sweet and faintly tart. Early summer dessert pear that turns mealy if picked too late.
Growth
Weak growth; for the garden, not for grassland. Trees exhaust themselves easily.
Yield
Cropping starts early and later stays high and regular; on light soils only with rich nutrient and water supply.
Notes
Robust against disease and climate, no special warmth needs; broadly plantable up to medium elevations (350 m). Tree-ripe late August, eating-ripe late Aug to early Sept, keeps only about 2 weeks.
Care
Thin the fruit, as trees exhaust easily. Pick in good time or the flesh turns mealy; feed light soils well.
