Description

Fruit

Dessert pear with fully melting, spicy flesh.

Growth

Weak growth as a result of the high, regular yield; therefore only conditionally suited to orchards.

Yield

High and regular yield.

Notes

Highly recommended, newly rediscovered variety for home garden and espalier, undemanding of site and climate; grows up to mid-mountain sites around 350 m with no special warmth needs. Tree-ripe early to mid October, ready to use November, natural storage about 4 weeks.

Care

Feed well given the weak, crop-induced growth; thin the set if needed so the tree is not exhausted.
