Maintenance advice : At the end of winter, cut down any incumbent branches, to ventilate and maintain a harmonious and balanced form. Shorten any branches too long at a young age and then every 4-5 years to rejuvenate. For trellised forms, in summer, reduce spring shoots by 2/3 in length, leaving 5-6 leaves per branch, and at the end of winter cut down any twigs of more than 15cm long to just above the third bud from the base.

Very productive, bearing in October lots of green, then yellow, relatively large pears, in a characteristic elongated form. They will keep until January. The pinky-white and delicate flesh is of very good quality, juicy, tender, sweet and perfumed. The late white flowers in April will often escape from frosts. Easy to grow, adapting to many different regions and resistant to scab. Forms an erect small tree and can be trellised.
