Variety description

10 August 2026

The Williams tree has a pyramidal crown that responds well to formative pruning. The variety is of the summer maturity group; harvest maturity of the fruits occurs in August.

Fruits are large, weighing 150–200 g or more, have a classic elongated pear shape and a slightly bumpy surface. The skin is thin and fragrant, light green at harvest, and acquires a waxy-yellow hue with small dots during the ripening process.

The variety is of universal use. The flesh is characterized by a dessert taste, juiciness, tender texture, and a pronounced aroma. The fruits are suitable for fresh consumption, drying, and canning. The variety is demanding in terms of agricultural practices and planting conditions, preferring sunny sites protected from the wind.
