A popular choice for home orchards due to its disease resistance and delicious fruit. It's a deciduous tree that produces medium to large, yellow-green pears with a red blush, ripening in early to mid-August. The flesh is soft, juicy, and nearly free of grit, with a mild, sweet flavor. Not self-fertile; requires a pollinator, such as Bartlett, Kieffer or Seckel pears. Excellent for fresh eating, juicing, canning, and baking.
