Introduced by Mortimer Ewart of East Akron, Ohio in 1928. Fruit medium or larger in size, blunt-pyriform, irregular. Skin greenish-yellow in color, sometimes russeted, not particularly attractive. Flesh fairly fine, buttery, juicy, quite free of grit. Much like Bartlett in dessert quality, but at times has a disagreeable, tart flavor. About one month later than Bartlett. Tree of medium vigor, willowy in habit, fairly productive, moderately susceptible to fire blight. -- H. Hartman 1957Ewart (PI 541187).-Originated in East Akron, Ohio, by Mortimer Ewart.
