Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a hybrid of the European pear variety «General Leclerc» and the Asian pear «Hosui». Fruits are ready for harvest in mid to late September, have a round or oval shape and a golden-yellow color with a possible blush. When stored in a refrigerator, the fruits retain their qualities for 1–2 months.

The tree is characterized by vigorous growth, an open crown, and a horizontal arrangement of scaffold branches, reaching a height of 4 to 8 meters. The variety is not self-fertile and requires cross-pollination with other pear varieties blooming in the same period. The plant possesses winter hardiness and disease resistance.
