Description
Fruit
First-class dessert pear with a sweet, wine-like aroma; green-yellow at picking.
Growth
Moderate growth with good tree and fruit health.
Yield
Comes into bearing early and regularly with reliable crops.
Notes
Suited to the garden and, with regular care, also to orchard use; grows up to 350 m with no special warmth needs. Tree-ripe late September, ready to use October to early November, natural storage about 4 weeks.
Care
In orchard use only worthwhile with regular maintenance pruning; otherwise undemanding.
