Narrative

This variety (from the Southern Oregon Experiment Station) is not the one listed by Ragan as 'Ames' or as 'Ames Hardy.' Source was a large tree found growing in the city of Ames, Iowa. It closely resembles Orel, but whether it is Orel or a seedling of Orel has not been determined. The variety is of no consequence for its fruit but the tree is extremely vigorous, stately in habit, highly resistant to fire blight, and appears very hardy. -- H. Hartman, Oregon Agricultural Experiment Station, 1957
