A pear with a history! May date back to Roman times. Definitely dated back to 1575 so clearly around before then. Depicted on the Worcestershire coat of arms. Large oval pears turn to dark mahogany. A culinary variety that does not soften enough to eat as a dessert but stores really well.

A fine pear of excellent flavour – the lovely perfumed flesh that sometimes tastes of vanilla is juicy, sweet & melting. Thought by some to be the finest of pears. Medium to large fruits nearly as wide as tall. Yellow, some with a pink flush. Appreciates a warm sunny position.

A dessert pear that arose in Belguim around 1759 but grown in the UK particularly in Victorian times. Its name means ‘delicious morsel’. The variety has spread throughout the world including the southern hemisphere being valued for its quality and long ripening period into the following year. It is a very good garden pear that requires a sheltered situation particularly if grown away from southern England.
