Narrative
The cultivar Lee originated in New Brunswick, New Jersey, by L. Fredric Hough and Catherine H. Bailey, New Jersey Agriculture Experiment Station. Introduced in 1968. Beierschmidt x NJ 1. Cross made in 1950; first fruited in 1958; selected in 1958; tested as NJ 4. Fruit: size medium; short-pyriform; skin light yellow when ripened on tree; flesh cream colored, flavor nearly comparable to Bartlett and pleasant to eat when tree ripened, quality good; ripens just after Bartlett; as blight resistant as Kieffer, but usually does not transmit a high level of resistance to its seedlings Tree: size moderate; central leader with fairly open branching; productive, good pollen, compatible with other varieties; later blooming than Bartlett. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties,
