Very high-quality summer dessert fruit. Semi-fine, melting, juicy, sugary and aromatic. Medium-small roundish yellow fruit blushed red and flecked with small dots. Vigorous upright habit. We’ve been on a mission to track down lost pears historically grown in Maine. Sometimes it feels a bit like looking for passenger pigeons, but then another one shows up. We found this one in a collection out West. We think it initially came to Maine from one of the large 19th-century nurseries in Rochester, NY.

Productive vigorous upright grower. Z4. Maine Grown. BACK! (2½–6' bare-root trees)
