CompareA moderately vigorous variety that develops spreading head. Heavy cropping, starting at an early age. Pears turbinate in shape with greenish yellow skin with an orange red flush. Russeted all over, which is an unusual feature of Perry pears.
Harvest – early to mid October and mill within 1-3 weeks of collecting. Fruits are easily shaken off tree when ripe. Produces a pleasant light perry. Passable as a dessert pear in spite of the astringency.
