Variety description

10 August 2026

The tree has a moderate growth habit and an upright spreading crown. Fruiting occurs primarily on spurs. The variety is self-incompatible and requires the presence of pollinators, while being considered a poor pollinator for other pears itself.

Fruits are medium-sized and have an oval-pyriform or calabash shape. The skin is yellow-green, often with varying degrees of russeting. The flesh is yellowish-white, juicy, slightly granular, and has a sweet dessert taste with aroma.

The variety is intended for fresh consumption. The harvest period falls in the second half of September, the consumption period is September and October.
