About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
A robust winter pear from the Pillnitz resistance breeding programme, which owes its name to its long storage life: in the cellar it often keeps you supplied with pears into November and beyond. You pick it still hard in October and let it ripen off until the flesh turns melting. It is strongly resistant to fire blight and scab, which makes it a rewarding cultivar for the near natural garden. Suitable pollinators are ‚Conference’, ‚Gellerts Butterbirne’ or ‚Alexander Lucas’.
Fully ripe, the juicy flesh practically melts on the tongue, sweet with a fine, lively acidity.
