A manageable, compact, tree ideal for container growing. A heavy crop, even on a young tree, is produced of pale green large pears with firm flesh and excellent flavour.
Ready to harvest from September to November and will store until January.
Enjoy at their best by picking slightly under-ripe and store in a cool place and bring indoors to ripen slowly. Will set a good crop of fruit without another variety being present, however the best fruit set is achieved by growing at least two varieties to help with pollination.
Propagated onto 'Quince A' rootstock to produce a tree with moderate vigour and promote fruiting at an early age.
Bred in Great Britain.
Pears are very versatile, grown as a bush, planted in an open but sheltered position as a cordon or espalier against a warm south, or west facing wall or fence. They will also fruit very well planted in large containers on the patio.
