Description
Fruit
Juicy, sweet-sour and tangy-spicy. Should rest in store for a while before processing.
Growth
Medium to vigorous growth; suited to the orchard meadow.
Yield
Comes into bearing early; later high and regular crops.
Notes
A recommendable, typically flavoured utility and perry pear. No special soil needs but not for rough sites; higher warmth needs, tolerates no high elevations. Tree-ripe early October, eating-ripe Oct to Nov, keeps about 3 weeks.
Care
Choose a warm, mild site without high elevation. Let it rest briefly before pressing.
