About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
The Köstliche von Charneux (also called Bürgermeisterbirne) is an old Belgian autumn pear valued for its good scab resistance and its heavy yield. It thrives even in cooler locations and is therefore a dependable tree for the orchard meadow. Plant a pollinator such as ‚Conference' or ‚Gute Luise' alongside it.
Juicy and sweet with an enlivening fine acidity and a spicy aroma. Refreshing freshly picked, it keeps its character when preserved, a rewarding all round pear.
