Description

Similar to the Red Pear, and popular in the Forest of Dean in the 19th century. Makes a smallish tree, that lead to its demise in the mid 20th century when many orchard were -ægrubbed-Æ out, and there was little demand for Perry. Now being planted again by artisan perry makers who value it for its dark red juice and distinctive perfume which makes a characterful perry that is good for blending.
