The brownish-yellow fruits with russet-red blush are a perfect size for snacking, pickling and canning whole. The flesh is fine-grained, juicy and extremely sweet with a rich, aromatic flavor unlike any other pear. Slow-growing trees are widely adaptable and productive. Has moderate resistance to fire blight. Begins ripening in September. An heirloom brought from Europe in 1790. Zones: 5-8.BR
Cross-pollination with another pear is recommended. We suggest Harrow Sweet.
