About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
‚Clapps Liebling’ is one of the earliest pears ever, you can harvest it for the first time already in early August. It is not shelf stable, so enjoy it straight from the tree or preserve it. The tree grows strong and healthy; it needs a pollinator such as ‚Williams Christ’ or ‚Gute Luise’ nearby.
Sweet, juicy and melting with a mild, friendly aroma. Pick it still firm and a little early, otherwise it will become doughy around the core quickly; at the right moment it is a wonderful summer pear.
