About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
‚Boscs Flaschenbirne’ (also Kaiser Alexander) you immediately recognize by its long, bottle-shaped fruit with the typical cinnamon-brown russeted skin. It is an elegant autumn-to-winter pear with excellent taste and is also suitable for baking, because it keeps its shape when cooked. Plant a pollinator such as ‚Conference’ alongside.
You will find it meltingly tender, juicy and sweet with a fine, refined spice. The russeted skin is deceptive; underneath lies one of the most aromatic table pears, and when cooked it remains pleasantly firm to bite.
