- Delicious eaten fresh from the tree and also excellent for poaching.
- A strong and reliable producer, this mid-season variety is ready to harvest from September.
- Its manageable size makes it suitable for growing in large containers on a patio.
- Our trees are expertly pruned before shipping to encourage a strong, bushy shape and prevent leggy growth.
- Species: Pear
- Ideal for: Eating, poaching, kids' snacks, container growing

- Harvest Time: September, October, November
- Position: Full sun or partial shade
- Hardiness: Fully hardy, does not require frost protection
- Habit: Bushy
- Soil: Any fertile, well-drained soil. Tolerates clay if drainage is improved.
- Fertility: Partially self-fertile. Doesn't require a pollination partner but may produce better crops if one is nearby.
- Tasting Notes: Sweet and juicy with virtually no core
- Planting Time: November to March.
- Spacing: Plant 4m apart to allow for spreading.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Afterwards, water only during dry spells. It is better to water heavily and less frequently than little and often to encourage deep root growth.
- Feeding: No feeding is required as the tree will get all the nutrients it needs from the soil.
- Pruning: Some structural pruning should be done each winter to maintain a productive shape, improve yields, and prevent disease.
- Pest & Disease: Has good resistance to most problems. Prune to increase airflow, which helps prevent bacterial disease. Keep an eye out for rare issues like fire blight or pear scab.
