Description
Fruit
Large-fruited; juicy, half-melting to melting, plenty of sugar and spice with a pleasant tart acidity; very good.
Growth
Strong growth; a typical tall-trunk orchard variety.
Yield
Bears reliably; a very long-keeping, well-storing utility pear.
Notes
Mainly a utility and juice pear, from late spring also a dessert pear. Versatile, undemanding, low disease susceptibility, no special warmth needs; grows up to mid-mountain sites around 350 m. Tree-ripe late October to early November, ready to use January to June, keeps in natural storage until early June.
Care
Robust tall-trunk with low care needs; for long storage harvest late at tree ripeness and keep cool and airy.
