Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Considered by many to be the best winter pear (this is the variety found in fancy gift boxes), this delightful 30-40' tree can be slow to bear fruit, but when it does, the large yellow, late-season pears are buttery-sweet, tender, juicy and aromatic; do not allow them to ripen on the tree or the cores will rot, use cold storage to ripen the fruit; this tree is a garden beauty as well with its single white flowers in spring, pleasing upright form and lovely fall color; requires 500-600 chill hours.
