The variety is demanding of soil conditions, prefers deep clay soils, and does not tolerate excessively wet areas.
The fruit is large, pear-shaped, with smooth light green or yellow-green skin. The flesh is soft and juicy, possessing a taste with slight astringency. The variety is characterized by high susceptibility to scab and low susceptibility to moniliosis.
The variety is known by the synonyms Madamka, Královna, Franzmadam, Windsor Pear, Windsorbirne. It is an old and locally significant variety, rarely used in modern industrial fruit growing.
