Narrative

Description of 'Easter Beurre' from Hartman (1957): Listed by Leroy (1869) as Doyenne d'Hiver and by Ragan (1908) as Easter Beurre. Full description and color plate in Hedrick (1921). Found in the garden of the Capucin Monastery at Louvain, Belgium and brought to attention in 1823. First propagated by Van Mons under the name of Pastorale. Brought to the United States about 1837 and added to the APS catalog in 1862. Fruit medium or larger in size, ovate-pyriform with thick neck. Skin thick and somewhat tough, deep green in color, sometimes slightly russeted, occasionally blushed. Flesh somewhat coarse, gritty, buttery, moderately juicy. Fairly sweet, pleasing flavor when properly grown and handled. Usually fails to ripen unless previously held under refrigeration for several months. Very late in season. Tree moderately vigorous, upright-spreading in habit, reasonably productive. Fairly susceptible to fire blight. While many attempts have been made to grow Beurre Easter commercially, the variety has not become a popular market pear. It is sometimes used as a pollinizer for Beurre d'Anjou and other varieties. -- H. Hartman 1957.
