Description

Found in a wood near St Agil in central France, and introduced to the UK in about 1892 probably by Bunyard’s nursery, this is a handsome golden pear that has white flesh which is buttery-soft and juicy with a pleasing ‘fruit-drop’ flavour; and which ripens easily and retains its quality. It is a vigorous and quite hardy variety; and a moderate to heavy cropper.
